entegra’s mission is to inspire
and engage community
members in their health and wellness.
It’s an idea that means different
things to different people. And it’s a
part of everything you’ll read about in
this edition of
Health Today
.
The new Centegra Hospital–Huntley’s
programs and services will be designed
to get you well and keep you healthy.
On page 4, you’ll see our latest construction update and learn
about ways you can help us better serve the community.
For Lynn Waishwell, wellness means adventure—and the
freedom to pursue it. That’s a possibility she’s thrilled to have
back since her double knee replacement at the Centegra Hip
& Knee Replacement Center. You’ll find her story on page 5.
For Maureen Schroeder, wellness means the confidence
to push her own boundaries and chase the big dreams. On
page 6, she shares how the Centegra Health Bridge Fitness
Center helped inspire her journey.
We want you to know that whatever
wellness means to you, Centegra will be
here to help you achieve it.
Sincerely yours,
Michael S. Eesley
Chief Executive Officer

lungscreening
. To schedule a screening, call

.
Since Centegra Health System
began to offer its low-dose CT
lung screening program, more
than 1,000 people have taken
advantage of this important offer.
Low-dose CT lung screenings are
the best way to find lung cancer
when it is in its earliest, most
treatable stages. Without this
screening, the chances of lung
cancer spreading to other areas of
the body could increase before it is
detected.
More than 20 percent of patients who were screened had
some type of medical findings, ranging from coronary artery
disease to pulmonary hypertension. Two percent of those
screened have been diagnosed with lung cancer.
To be eligible for the screening, you must be between the ages
of 55 and 80. You must have smoked the equivalent of a pack of
cigarettes a day for 30 years or two packs a day for 15 years.

Low-dose CT lung scans help
Centegra doctors detect
