Pine Belt residents are invited to attend a free educational program on May 30 at noon to learn about taking control of diabetes, featuring Diabetes Patient and A1C Champions® Program member Jim Murphy.

Murphy, a member of the Sanofi-supported A1C Champions® Program, will visit the Diabetes Care Center at Forrest General’s LiveWell Center to share diabetes self-management and lifestyle strategies based on extensive training and his personal experience living with diabetes.

More than 70 Hattiesburg, Miss. area residents have registered for a special opportunity to participate in an upcoming historic study that has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations. And now, with one week from the first local enrollment date, others are urged to sign up to take part in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 so that cancer’s greatest mysteries can be unlocked.
 

Forrest General has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology. CT scanning — sometimes called CAT scanning — is a highly accurate medical test that uses cross-sectional 2D and 3D images to help physicians diagnose and tailor treatments for various medical conditions.
While this accreditation focuses on one type of radiology test, this recognition by the ACR further demonstrates Forrest General’s commitment to provide quality comprehensive radiology services for the Pine Belt.
