 July 2008
In 2008, approximately 1.5 million people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. To treat these patients and those already living with the disease, new imaging technologies, advanced chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and cutting-edge surgical options are being developed every day. This is especially true at UPMC Cancer Center at UPMC Passavant, where patients from Pittsburgh’s northern communities can take advantage of innovative cancer treatments available.

WHAT ROLE DOES THE NATIONAL GUARD PLAY IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA?
Most of us understand the branches of our military, such as the
Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. But where does
the National Guard fit in? It happens to be the oldest component of
the Armed Forces and is celebrating its 372nd birthday this coming
December. The Guard’s history goes back to the earliest English
colonies when the colonists organized able-bodied male citizens into
militias. In 1903, Congress passed the Militia Act, which changed the
name to the National Guard.
