The month of November has many observances related to health, health care and more. Here is a brief list of observances and helpful information to keep you in the know:
Each November, the history, traditions, culture and contributions of Indigenous peoples are celebrated all month long. LVHN’s service area is located on the traditional homeland of the Lenape people, who are part of three federally recognized tribes (Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians and Stockbridge-Munsee Community).
Managing diabetes is difficult year-round, but it can be especially hard during the holidays. These tips can help you stay on track and keep your blood sugar under control this holiday season.
It was just a little cough – or at least that’s what Bernadette Lemke thought. However, instead of brushing it aside as nothing, she mentioned the cough to her primary care clinician during her regular wellness exam, and doing so saved her life. Bernadette’s story is proof that finding lung cancer early, whether it’s through a lung cancer screening or a regular checkup, can be the key to a successful outcome.
Due to its high mortality rate, low survival rate and late-stage diagnosis, pancreatic cancer is considered one of the most serious cancers. But LVHN remains at the forefront of the fight. Join our cancer experts on Nov. 11 when they will be discussing the latest advances in treatment as well as the region’s only clinical trial for an immunotherapeutic pancreatic cancer vaccine. You can register for the event here.
LVPG Pulmonology is helping patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) breathe easier with a minimally invasive lung valve procedure. Learn more here.

As we celebrate careers in science, technology, engineering and math, LVHN remains dedicated to preparing future generations of nurses, physicians and other health care professionals – and Jamalia Torres stands as proof of this commitment. Here is how LVHN’s Health Care Futures program helped this young woman turn her curiosity about the medical field into a health care career.

Do you need an antibiotic? Your doctor may advise you against one. If you are sick, your first instinct may be to run to your family doctor to get a prescription for an antibiotic. However, that may not always be the best option. Learn more here.
Have you been thinking about quitting smoking? Today is dedicated to you. These tips can help you get started with quitting. Because quitting nicotine is hard – especially if you’re trying to do it on your own – see how our Time to Quit Nicotine Cessation Program can support and assist you as you work toward becoming nicotine-free.
