November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. If you're between 50 and 77 and currently smoke or have in the past, a low-dose CT scan could be your best tool for early detection. Take a quick health risk assessment on our website to see if you're eligible. Lung cancer is the third most common cancer, and sadly, one of the deadliest, with a five-year survival rate of just 28%. Early detection saves lives. And the single most effective step? Don’t smoke – or quit if you do. Smoking is linked to 90% of lung cancer cases. Let’s raise awareness. Let’s save lives.

November is American Diabetes Month. If you are concerned that you or a loved one may have diabetes, take a diabetes health risk assessment. It’s free, quick, and might ensure you get the care you need. The prevalence of the disease in this country is high due to factors such as obesity, unhealthy eating, genetics, and lack of physical activity.

November is COPD Awareness Month. Find a lung doctor today. If you’ve been diagnosed, regular visits with your primary care provider or a pulmonologist are key to managing your condition. And if you’re experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing – don’t wait. Early diagnosis can make a big difference.

April’s compassion and dedication make a real difference every day. As a registered nurse at SageWest, she is caring, dependable, and brings warmth to everyone she encounters — patients, families, and coworkers alike.

If you’ve met your healthcare deductible, your out-of-pocket expenses for a surgery, screening, or check-up could be minimal – or even nothing – before the end of the year.
