Great Hill Hose Company in Seymour to hold blood drive Saturday

SEYMOUR - As First Responders, we see the need for blood more than most people do. 

The Great Hill Hose Company has been hosting blood drives for over 40 years, yet with each year, less and less blood is donated.

So let’s change that! This Saturday we are hosting our first “Battle of the Badges” Blood Drive. 

We’re calling upon all our local emergency service agencies across the Valley. The organization with the most donators will later receive a celebratory plaque, along with T-Shirts and other giveaway prizes that will be given out the day of!

Simply make an appointment that day to donate blood, mention the name of the emergency organization you are with, and it will be counted in the tally!

Help us save lives in more ways than one!

Griffin Hospital to offer lung cancer phone consultations Wednesday

In recognition of National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital will offer free one-on-one phone calls with specialists in its Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program Wednesday, Nov. 16. Participants in these phone call consultations will be directly referred to a physician specializing in lung cancer if they are a candidate for the program.  Low-dose CT lung cancer screening is covered by Medicare and most private insurance companies. Annual lung screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been shown to save lives by detecting lung cancer early, when it is more treatable.  This screening program is recommended for individuals ages 50-80 who have smoked at least an average of one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years. This includes people who still smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Spaces are limited. Call 203-732-1280 to make an appointment for the pre-screening phone call or for more information. This free medical consultation is part of Griffin’s commitment to help improve the health and well-being of its community.  According to the 2019-20 Community Health Improvement Plan for the Naugatuck Valley, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the Valley and the rate of lung cancer death is higher than the state average. For more information about Griffin's Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program, visit griffinhealth.org/lung. This is a press release from Griffin Hospital.
