Free Head and Neck Cancer Screening will take place on Saturday, Sept. 24 & Sunday, Sept. 25, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Bay Area Cancer Center, Bay Area Hospital, Coos Bay. The Bay Area Hospital staff, in conjunction with volunteer community healthcare providers, will be on hand to answer your questions and provide information on how to prevent head and neck cancers. Head and neck cancers can affect your ability to speak, eat, drink and swallow. If found early, however, they can be successfully treated. No appointment necessary.
