🫁 World Lung Cancer Day | August 1 🩵
Today, on World Lung Cancer Day, we stand with those affected by lung cancer, honor survivors, remember those we have lost, and raise awareness about the importance of prevention, early detection, and access to quality care.
Lung cancer can affect anyone including people who have never smoked. Knowing the signs and talking to your healthcare provider about your risk can make a difference.
Common symptoms may include:
• A persistent cough
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Coughing up blood
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing fatigue
If you are experiencing these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Early diagnosis can improve treatment options and outcomes.
At Imperial Beach Community Clinic, we are committed to helping our community stay healthy through preventive care, health education, and connections to the care you need.
🩵 Together, we can raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support those impacted by lung cancer.
