Facing Cancer Together
Scott Hamilton is not alone in being diagnosed with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, almost 42% of men and 40 % of women will develop cancer in their lifetime.
Today, however, thanks to more accurate diagnoses, advances in treatment options and a greater willingness among you and I to be screened, survival rates continue to rise. At Hometown Hospital, we’re proud to play a role in the fight against cancer. We offer a network of primary care providers on the front lines, a wide range of cancer screening services, and the diagnostic, laboratory and surgical capabilities needed to help diagnose possible cancers and set a course for proper treatment.
Of course, this only makes a difference when people choose to use it. I encourage each of you to talk with your primary care providers, follow the helpful advice in this issue of Hometown Health, and take control of your health. We hope cancer never touches you or your family, but if it does, we’re here for you!
