USA Health staff members offered COVID-19 vaccines to area residents today during a drive-through clinic at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Mobile through a community-based partnership with area leaders, including Mayor Sandy Stimpson and Councilwoman Gina Gregory.

While most cases of cancer occur by chance, it’s estimated that 5 to 10 percent of cases can be linked to an inherited genetic variant that can be passed down from generation to generation. That’s why it’s important for families to keep detailed health histories and share any concerns they may have with a healthcare provider, said Cassie Gurganus, C.G.C., a certified genetic counselor at USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute. https://www.usahealthsystem.com/news/does-cancer-run-in-my-family
