Memorial Medical Center in Springfield will be hosting a free event for everyone to talk about lung cancer and what treatments, prevention, and signs/symptoms of lung cancer are. The program is called “Shine a Light on Lung Cancer” begins at 6 PM on the MCLI’s second floor in room 2A. The program is two hours long. Naomi Wands, community cancer education coordinator says that November is lung cancer awareness month and that this class is to help put your mind at ease about lung cancer and just what people who face that cancer are up against.

Along with Dr. Traves Crabtree and Dr. Stephen Hazelrigg, who are both with the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Wands says there will be other speakers there as well.

Wands says the class does more than just teach you about lung cancer awareness. It also recognizes those that have fought lung cancer and those who are taking the fight to it each day.
