Former NFL player and Chicago Bears draft pick Chris Draft was at Carle Health Methodist Hospital this week to celebrate their work toward lung cancer screening and awareness. Increasing access to cancer screening, early detection and improved outcomes is central to work in oncology at Carle Health Methodist Hospital, the recipient a CHANGE grant through the NFL and the American Cancer Society’s Crucial Catch program to detect cancer early. This funding extends the organization’s commitment to supporting providers and technology that more accurately locate, stage and treat the disease through an integrated approach that fits each patient. Carle Health Greater Peoria provides free cancer screenings for community members at a special Cancer Screening Day once a year. The next free Cancer Screening Day will be Tuesday, Aug. 20 from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Carle Health Pekin Hospital. Learn more about this event and others at carle.org/events.
