DOTHAN – Learn to lower your cancer risk. The Troy University Continuing Education Center will hold a Cancer Prevention workshop June 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Dothan Campus.

According to a recent report from the American Cancer Society, the disease is responsible for one of every four deaths in America. Experts estimate half of all men and one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetime.

Research also indicates some of the risk factors for cancer can be avoided. During the seminar, Dr. Habiba Shaw, a nutrition and health education specialist, will share information about simple changes in diet and exercise that could help you remain healthy.

The course is designed for nurses (RN/LPN), social workers, dietary personnel, extension agents, caregivers, health educators, pharmacists and anyone interested in learning more about cancer. Participants will qualify for healthcare CEU’s.
