節假日將至,我們與所關愛的人再度相聚。這是回味美好記憶、也期待創造更多美好回憶的時刻。 11月也是肺癌宣傳月。請花一點時間關注自己的健康,想一想未來歲月裡您想享受的那些美好時光。 如果您正在吸煙或曾經吸煙,請與您的醫療保健服務提供者討論肺癌篩查。 肺癌篩查為什麼重要? 肺癌導致的死亡人數超過其他任何類型的癌症。吸煙是肺癌的主要風險因素。 及早發現肺癌,結果會大不相同。不要等到身體不适才去諮詢篩查。篩查可以在您出現疼痛或呼吸困難之前發現肺癌,此時治療效果可能更好。 哪些人應接受篩查? 如果以下三項條件全部符合,Medicaid和Medicare可為77歲及以下人群承保肺癌篩查: 您的年齡在50至80歲之間。 您目前吸煙,或在過去15年內戒煙。 您的吸煙史達到20「包年」或以上。 什麼是「包年」?包年數等於您每天平均吸煙的包數乘以您吸煙的年數。 一包年指每天大約吸一包煙、持續一年。每天一包、持續20年(1 x 20),等於20包年。每天兩包、持續10年(2 x 10),也等於20包年。 肺癌篩查是怎麼做的? 篩查所用的檢查稱為低劑量CT,即LDCT掃描。掃描時,您平躺在檢查床上。X光機會為您的肺部拍攝影像。整個掃描只需幾分鐘,不會感到疼痛。 如何接受篩查? 首先請與您的醫療保健服務提供者溝通。他們可以結合您的年齡和吸煙史,幫您判斷篩查是否適合您。如果您決定接受篩查,您的提供者可以為您安排低劑量CT掃描。 如果您目前吸煙,也可以請您的提供者幫助您戒煙。現有藥物和諮詢服務可協助您戒煙。 資料來源: 紐約州衛生局:肺癌篩查 美國預防服務工作組:肺癌:篩查 疾病控制與預防中心:肺癌篩查 美國癌症協會:肺癌

紐約州正針對多個鄉村縣持續擴散的麻疹疫情展開應對工作。州長Kathy Hochul已宣佈進入災害緊急狀態。此舉有助於遏制這種高傳染性疾病的傳播,並推動更多紐約民眾接種疫苗和接受檢測。 什麼是麻疹? 麻疹是一種極易透過空氣傳播的病毒。感染者咳嗽、打噴嚏甚至正常呼吸時,都可能造成病毒擴散。病毒可在空氣中存活長達兩小時。可能出現的症狀包括: 高燒 咳嗽 流鼻涕 眼睛發紅或流淚 皮疹(通常先發於面部,隨後向身體下方蔓延) 麻疹可能引發嚴重的健康問題。幼兒、孕婦以及免疫系統較弱人群的患病風險更高。併發症可能包括肺炎、需住院治療的重症、腦水腫,極少數情況下會導致死亡。 我該如何保護家人? 最有效的防護手段是接種麻疹、腮腺炎和風疹(MMR)疫苗。衛生官員強調,接種疫苗是預防麻疹最安全、最有效的方式。紐約州衛生部呼籲紐約民眾,確保自身疫苗接種處於及時有效的狀態。 如果您不確定自身或孩子是否接種過MMR疫苗,請諮詢您的醫療服務提供者。此外,如果您對麻疹或MMR疫苗有任何疑問,也請諮詢您的醫療服務提供者。多數兒童在6歲前完成兩劑MMR疫苗接種。 如果您需要協助尋找醫療服務提供者,可使用我們的Find a Doctor(尋找醫生)工具。或致電1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547),聽力障礙電傳:711。 Sources 紐約州衛生部麻疹疫情最新動態 紐約州州長辦公室第65號行政命令:因麻疹疫情持續暴發,宣佈紐約州進入災害緊急狀態

Hispanic Heritage Month is a special time of year for me because it is an opportunity to celebrate where we come from, the traditions that unite us, and the contributions that generations of Hispanic Americans have made to this country. At Goya Foods, our heritage is at the heart of who we are. Founded 90 years ago by Spanish immigrants, Goya has grown from a small family business into the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, while remaining deeply connected to the families and communities we serve.  For me, recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month goes beyond celebrating our food, music,
