Mercy Health Speaker Series
Mercy Health – Springfield is holding a “Shine a Light on Lung Cancer” event from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday at COhatch the Market, to help raise awareness surrounding early detection of lung cancer.
Dr. Jose Rodriguez will be the guest speaker for this event. As a cardiothoracic surgeon, Rodriguez often helps save lives by performing procedures to remove cancer from the lungs in its early stages. That’s why it’s so important to get screened, as earlier detection means more treatment options and a higher survival rate.
The goal is to provide education and promote awareness, which will include a large inflatable lung to give attendees an up-close look at the dangerous effects lung cancer can have. There will be a variety of vendors, staff from Mercy Health to provide information on services and treatments available to patients, and a tribute to honor, celebrate, and remember those who have been touched by lung cancer.
