“Clearing The Air:” Poster Contest
November starts the National Lung Cancer Awareness Month campaign. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both American men and women. The disease is rarely found in its early stages, and there is no current screening tool that effectively detects the disease early.
In observation of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the Southern Regional Office in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Human Resources and the American Lung Association will host a poster contest in at least two school districts in Metro Atlanta.
