Are you between the ages of 30 and 65 and never been diagnosed with cancer? You can help fight against cancer by participating in a nationwide study by the American Cancer Society. The Lorain County General Health District (LCGHD) urges residents to help create a cancer-free world! LCGHD Health Commissioner, Kenneth G. Pearce urges residents to participate in this study, “Volunteering will help provide vital information to understand the reasons why we get cancer and how to prevent it. Take the small step and commit to help reach the ultimate goal of preventing this major health problem.”
How can you do your part to end cancer, as we know it?
Anyone between the ages of 30 and 65 years old, never been diagnosed with cancer (not including basal and squamous cell skin cancer), and willing to make a long-term commitment to the study is eligible to volunteer!
