Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of prevention, early detection, and regular screenings. Cervical cancer is highly preventable and treatable, yet it continues to affect women worldwide. Early detection through Pap smears and HPV tests can improve outcomes significantly, with survival rates increasing to 90% when caught early. Protect yourself and your loved ones—schedule a screening today and speak with your care team about preventive care options.
Get Help to Quit Smoking
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, responsible for over 480,000 deaths in the U.S. annually. This dangerous habit harms nearly every organ in the body, significantly increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and cancer. Quitting smoking not only reduces these health risks but can also extend your life expectancy by up to 10 years. While the journey to quit smoking can be challenging, support from your care team, loved ones, and community resources makes a big difference. Take the first step toward a healthier future by reaching out to your care team for personalized guidance and tools or call the Tobacco Quitline to help you quit for good.
The Illinois Tobacco Quitline is a great and free resource for people who want to quit smoking! Call 1-800-784-8937.

Rachel Maibach, DO - Family Medicine Resident
Rachel Maibach, DO, first encountered LCHC during her second year of medical school at a Christian Community Health Fellowship conference. Despite initially planning to stay close to her Indiana roots for residency, her perspective shifted dramatically after an inspiring interview at Lawndale, where the mission of proximity and service to the community deeply resonated with her. A graduate of A.T. Still University in Missouri, she brings a holistic approach to patient care, addressing not only physical health but also mental, spiritual, and social factors. Dr. Maibach shares, "One of my strengths is creating a safe space for patients where they feel comfortable to share what’s going on." Dr. Maibach values clear communication and building trust through patient-centered care. Guided by her faith, she finds immense reward in witnessing the positive impact of her work, whether through physical healing or offering spiritual and emotional support.
She says, “At Lawndale, we look beyond physical health—we care for the whole person: their mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing too.”
