Griffin fair at Quarry Walk in Oxford to highlight lung health
.jpg)
OXFORD - In recognition of National Lung Cancer Awareness and National Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) months, Griffin Health will host a Lung Health Fair from 8 a.m.-noon Nov. 9 at Griffin Imaging & Diagnostics Center.
The Center is at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road.
The fair will feature information on Griffin’s patient-centered lung health services, including its Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening Program, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, free tobacco and nicotine cessation program, Respiratory Therapy, and the Center for Sleep Wellness at Griffin Hospital.
According to the 2022 Valley Community Index, 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.
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.
Griffin’s Low-Dose Lung Cancer 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.
Those who currently have symptoms of a lung condition, such as a new cough or shortness of breath, are not eligible.
Griffin recommends that individuals with lung condition symptoms see a physician as soon as possible.
For more information about the Griffin Health Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program, visit griffinhealth.org/lung.
The Great American Smokeout is Nov. 21. This annual event encourages people who use tobacco and nicotine products to make a plan to quit for a healthier future. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., accounting for about 1 in 5 deaths each year. Griffin’s free tobacco and nicotine cessation program, That’s It – Learn to Quit, offers education, advice and support to help individuals prepare to quit. Visit griffinhealth.org/tobacco-cessation for more information and upcoming program dates.
Griffin Health Pulmonary Rehabilitation is designed for those living with chronic lung diseases whose symptoms are compromising their quality of life and well-being. This program helps individuals diagnosed with COPD, Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema, Bronchiectasis, Interstitial Lung Disease, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Pulmonary Hypertension, Sarcoidosis, and Lung Cancer.
Call 203-732-7106 or visit griffinhealth.org/treatments/pulmonary-rehabilitation for more information.
The Sleep Wellness Center at Griffin Hospital is a comprehensive program that offers state-of-the-art sleep medicine. The center specializes in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, snoring, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.
The four-bed Center incorporates a patient-centered model of care, with beautifully appointed sleep study rooms and is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as a sleep disorders center.
