Today is World Lung Cancer Day — August 1st

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, yet it remains one of the most stigmatized and underfunded cancers. Today, we're raising our voices for the 2.5 million people diagnosed every year worldwide and the families who stand beside them.

The facts we want you to know:
🫁 Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer
🫁 Rates are rising among people who have never smoked
🫁 Early detection saves lives — know the symptoms

This August 1st, join us in shining a light on lung cancer. Share this post, wear white, and help us break the stigma.

We’d like to thank Dr. Bobby Shah for taking the time today to speak at a church lunch group, where he shared valuable insights on lung disease and lung cancer.
