Firefighters are dedicated public servants who willingly choose to enter a profession that puts their lives in jeopardy in the name of keeping their communities safe. In addition to the immediate dangers of their daily work, firefighters are at an elevated risk for multiple cancers, 由烧伤引起, 吸入烟雾和烟雾, 和 exposure to chemicals in fire suppression materials.

在一些州, specific screenings are recommended for firefighters for various cancers to provide the best chance of early detection. However, New Hampshire does not have these recommendations in place. 十大网赌平台推荐健康中心在周一的新闻发布会上宣布, 5月8日, at Manchester Fire's Station 8 on East Industrial Park Drive a partnership with the 曼彻斯特消防局圣歌蓝十字和蓝盾 in New Hampshire to screen eligible active firefighters for cancer. The pilot program will initially screen for skin 和 lung cancer, 消防员中最常见的两种, 和 will eventually exp和 to offer screenings for other cancers firefighters are often at risk for.

"十大网赌平台推荐卫生 is proud to partner with the City of Manchester 和 Anthem to provide cancer screenings for active firefighters in the 曼彻斯特消防局,托德说。. Noce,做, regional medical director of radiology, Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Southern Region. "Part of our mission is to care for patients 和 communities beyond the walls of our hospitals 和 clinics. We are indebted to our local firefighters who help when we are at our most vulnerable 和 we look forward to keeping them healthy for many years to come."

全州, there are approximately 200 Granite State firefighters who currently qualify for cancer screenings 和 another 100 retirees who qualify as well. The goal of this partnership is to encourage other fire departments in New Hampshire to follow the model in Manchester, 和 eventually spur requirements for cancer screenings for active firefighters at the state level.

"This collaboration is going to allow for a dermatology screening for every member of the 曼彻斯特消防局 和 a lung CT for members over the age of 40 with 10 years of service,警长瑞安. 曼彻斯特消防局的卡辛说. "Unfortunately, 75 percent of firefighter deaths are the result of occupational cancers. It is our hope at the 曼彻斯特消防局 that this healthcare initiative will make us the exception to that rule. 我们都知道,早期癌症筛查可以挽救生命. While it is a firefighter's job to run into a burning building to save lives, it is our job to save their lives after the fire is put out. It is my intention that this pilot program will be the first step in the development of an early cancer screening program for the entire state of New Hampshire."

"圣歌蓝十字和蓝盾 is honored to partner with 十大网赌平台推荐卫生 和 the city to launch this pilot program to promote earlier cancer screenings for Manchester firefighters. 我们的消防队员是英雄,他们永远在我们身边, 这就是为什么我们在他们身边很重要吗,玛丽亚·普罗克斯说, 总统 of 圣歌蓝十字和蓝盾 in New Hampshire. "Anthem has provided access to quality care for the city's employees for many years 和 we are pleased to be able to work with them closely on this initiative to improve health outcomes for the people who serve our city."
