November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Early-stage lung cancer often has no symptoms, making screening critical for those at high risk. This month, CCRI and the Mississippi Lung Cancer Roundtable honor survivors and encourage early detection. 💙

A group of people dressed in professional attire stand together outside in front of a large stone building with columns. They are gathered around a flagpole, holding signs labeled "LUNGevity" and "Speakers Bureau." Small white flags are planted in the grass around them.

A person in a white coat speaks at a podium with microphones, with signage reading "Mississippi Lung Cancer Roundtable" and "LUNGevity Foundation." Several individuals stand behind them, some facing the camera.

A display of numerous small white flags and American flags is planted in a grassy area. A sign in the foreground reads, "LUNGevity," "Mississippi Lung Cancer Roundtable," and states, "Each of these 1,200 flags represents approximately 1 person in Mississippi who dies from lung cancer each year.

A group of individuals is standing outside near a historic building, posing for a photo among a display of white flags on a lawn. There are trees and a clear blue sky in the background.
