January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Did you know more than 14,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the U.S. annually? Early cervical cancer often has no signs or symptoms.

Get Help to Quit Smoking
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death and disease. Smoking is a dangerous habit that negatively impacts the brain, lungs, and heart, putting you at risk for various health issues including lung disease, heart attacks, and cancer. Those who quit smoking reduce the risk of premature death and can add as much as 10 years to their life expectancy. Quitting smoking is easier with people supporting you, so let family and friends know you're planning to quit. Talk to your LCHC Care Team today for support and resources for quitting smoking!
The Illinois Tobacco Quitline is a great and free resource for people who want to quit smoking! Call 1-800-784-8937.
Get to Know Our Providers
Courtney Hatcher, MD
Courtney Hatcher, MD, is one of 6 residents in Lawndale Christian Health Center's Family Medicine Residency program. Courtney's desire to become a doctor began at 9 years old when she would accompany her grandmother to her medical visits. She was inspired by the impact a provider could have in someone's life, and took a strong interest in learning everything she could about healthcare. Courtney earned her medical degree at Franklin University of Medicine and Science and is now focused on providing holistic care and building trust with her patients at LCHC. She is passionate about communicating medical information in a way that all of her patients can understand. She shows her care and concern through encouragement cards, praying with patients, and asking how they're doing mentally. She believes building a positive relationship with patients is key to providing the best overall care. Courtney is excited to continue serving the Lawndale community.
She says, "My priority is to educate each patient about their health. I believe impact is made one visit or one conversation at a time."
