MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) –
The Community Health Improvement Network held another Lunch & Learn on Tuesday.
The free event, held at North Park Church in Meridian, aimed to educate people on ways to reduce their risk of lung disease and improve their overall lung health.
Dr. Asad Khan of Ochsner Rush Health spoke to an audience of over 100 people in a candid conversation about health and screening opportunities that can help prevent and stem serious illnesses.
“That was a really universal message for all of our patients,” Khan said. “We actually have a lot of community leaders here who are going out and influencing and inspiring our younger community and really leading by example with things like smoking cessation and healthy lung awareness.”
Beverly Knox, president of the Community Health Improvement Network, said they plan to hold another lunch-and-learn event in September.
