Hot Springs National Park Rotary member Gina Howes Boshears had the honor of introducing our speaker, Dr. Dan Dixon. Dr. Dixon is a Professor and Associate Director of Community Outreach and Engagement for the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. He and his team have been conducting a series of cancer education meetings around the state on two topics; cancer prevention & screening, and cancer clinical trials. One in seven Arkansans will be diagnosed with lung or breast cancer, one in eight prostate cancer, and one in twelve colon cancer. Screening for these cancers can lower your cancer risk.

Yearly screening for lung cancer has been proven to reduce lung cancer deaths by 20%. Women should have annual mammograms beginning at age 40. Men should begin prostate cancer screening at age 50 and men and women should begin screening for colon cancer by having a colonoscopy at age 45.

Keeping up with recommended cancer screenings, and talking with your doctor about family history can lower your risk of developing cancer. Cancer screening and prevention are more impactful than treatments in saving lives from cancer. Cancer screening is a repeatable test checking for cancer in people who do not show symptoms.

Several screening tests have been shown to detect cancer early and to reduce the chance of dying from that cancer. Other ways to help prevent cancer include a healthy diet, not smoking, avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active in your daily life.

Hot Springs National Park Rotary member Scott Lauck presented Thomas Smith with his blue badge and welcomed him to our club at our recent meeting. This is not the first blue badge for Thomas. Thomas is a past member of Oaklawn Rotary and served as president of the club. We are honored to have him with us at Hot Springs National Park Rotary and look forward to working with him.

It is an honor to be a Rotarian and to wear the blue badge of HSNP Rotary Club. This badge is a mark of distinction, indicating that the member has met the club’s requirements and is actively participating and is a testament to the member’s commitment to Rotary values. Welcome to Blue Badgeville! We hope that you will wear it proudly!

HSNP Rotarians In The Community.
Hot Springs National Park Rotary is sharing about our fellow members that are serving the community of Hot Springs. We are often asked what does Rotary do? What is Rotary all about? Our hopes are by sharing newspaper articles, social media posts and various sources that you can broaden your knowledge of our members in the community.
