While the causes of certain cancers remain a mystery, it’s known that genetics, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors can all play an important role. As a community, one of our best ways to fight cancer is to prevent it in the first place. It can be as simple as wearing sunscreen, eating healthier, reducing alcohol consumption, or quitting smoking. For older adults, prevention should also include making important screenings part of your annual wellness routine.

Healthy Sumter is here to offer resources for fitness, mental health, disease prevention, and everyday wellness to everyone in the Sumter community. Together, we can work together to prevent cancer and enjoy healthier living!
