A Message from the CEO: An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth…

It was Benjamin Franklin who coined the now famous saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Today, thanks to modern medical technology, we could also say that an ounce of prevention can save your life. Just ask Norah O’Donnell, whose compelling story demonstrates the life-saving importance of early detection. An early diagnosis of any medical condition opens the door for more effective treatment and care. That’s the reason My Hometown Hospital and our physician staff offer a full range of medical screenings and diagnostic tests. Of course, all of that medical know-how can only make a difference if people decide to use it. That’s why I encourage you and your family to talk to your doctor, follow the helpful information on pages 6 and 7, and schedule the screening tests and checkups that will give you that ounce of prevention everyone deserves.
