Free Community Lung Cancer Screening
Initial Screening at Gloucester Police Department
January 6 and January 9th
Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women worldwide; however, it is currently the only one of the top four deadliest cancers (lung, prostate, breast and colorectal) that is not screened for routinely.
Based on the published findings of the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), Addison Gilbert Hospital, a member of Lahey Health, now have confirmation that we can save lives of people at high risk for developing lung cancer through CT screening.
While private insurers and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) do not currently cover low-dose CT lung screening, and most hospitals charge a self-pay of at least $350 for this screen, Addison Gilbert Hospital is determined to help bring awareness and accessibility of this testing to all people at high-risk at no charge.
Addison Gilbert Hospital will offer a FREE low-dose chest CT screening to any individual who meets the established National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) high-risk criteria. Persons between the ages of 50 and 74 who have
smoked at least an average of one pack per day for twenty years may meet these criteria and qualify for a free screening.
Those who would like to see if they meet the criteria for the screening may attend this event that will be held at the
Gloucester Police Department, 197 Main Street, Gloucester, Conference Room
Monday, January 6 and Thursday, January 9, 2014
from
7:30 a.m. – 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Appointments are not necessary.

Serving in Viet Nam in 1970 I came across an album from an unknown songwriter at the time named Mac Davis. One song in particular that really moved me was a song called “Home”. Made me real homesick. Many years have past. I am thankful to all who sacrificed for our country.
No where could I find this song or lyrics on the internet. I dedicate this song and video to all the veterans who have served in the past and are serving our country today. God Bless them all.
“Home” – Mac Davis
And every night they lie awake
And dream of Momma’s chocolate cake
And wonder if there’ll be a tomorrow
And will they ever see their home and their family
Oh will they ever be back home, Oh
And boys who never learned to pray
Look to the heaven’s everyday
And stumble through a simple little prayer
And ask the Lord above
To send them home to the ones they love
Oh God I hope they make it home
And everyday some young boy dies
And in the night some young girl cries
He’ll never hear his baby’s laughter
He’ll never ever see his home and his family
But I guess he’s finely free
And at last he’s on his way back home, Oh
When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness.” “-Bob Hope”
God Bless – and have a safe holiday season 🙂 Dave Ret Vet South Korea
