  1. A look at lung cancer: Facts that deserve your attention

    Last month, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was observed locally and nationally with appropriate fanfare and enthusiasm. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

    Most of the time whenever someone is considering getting a new pet, they automatically begin to think of how much they plan to teach their new pet. No doubt, pet owners teach their pets countless behavioral attributes and very basic obedience. However, pets also teach their owners, primarily subconsciously, about everyday life. Pets teach us about loving, loyalty, joy and friendship. Additionally, they teach us about death.

  5. Your Health: You must take care of your heart

    February is American Heart Month, so you should take this opportunity to better understand the symptoms and warning signs of a heart attack. A heart attack is the result of a blockage in the heart’s arteries, which can reduce or completely cut off blood supply to part of the heart.
