Times Union: Seen at St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation’s 17th Annual Holiday Kickoff

If you smoke, the most important step you can take to avoid or reduce your risk for lung cancer is to stop. This year the Great American SmokeOut (GASO) is on November 18 and is a great time to consider quitting your tobacco habit.

James K. Reed, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Peter’s Health Partners, wrote a letter to the editor of the Times Union in support of several tobacco policies currently before the New York State Legislature.

Peter Semenza, vice president of philanthropy for St. Peter’s Health Partners, talked to WRGB about the nonprofit initiative, Sock Out Cancer, which recently raised more than $53,000 for cancer patients at St. Peter’s Health Partners.
