Encouraging people to be proactive about their health is important to us here at UHS. We counsel our patients to have regular health screenings, practice good preventive care and arm themselves with the knowledge they need to maintain wellness at any age.
One of the most inspiring stories in this issue of Stay Healthy features Binghamton native Harold Jones IV, who climbed Cascade Mountain in the Adirondacks—a remarkable feat given that not long ago, a cancer diagnosis cast doubt on his future. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of proactive healthcare.
At UHS, we understand a cancer diagnosis brings a whirlwind of emotions and decisions. Our dedicated team of professionals are here to support those living with cancer every step of the way. From new technologies like the Ion robotic bronchoscopy—our cutting edge tool for lung biopsies—to our comprehensive outreach program, we strive to provide both advanced medical care and emotional support to our patients and their families. This issue also highlights our teams’ incredible work to stay innovative in cancer treatment, showcasing the progress and achievements that are driven by our commitment to patient care and that pave the way for future advancements in the field.
Thank you for being part of our community and for taking steps to stay informed about your care. Your health and well-being are at the heart of everything we do at UHS. We are here to help you achieve wellness and live your best life today and in the future.
John M. Carrigg
