Day Kimball Health is proud to announce our Pink & Pearl Campaign, focusing on cancer prevention, support, and survivorship in our community. Did you know that Windham County has the highest percentage of adult smokers and the highest prevalence of obesity in Connecticut? These factors significantly increase the risk for both breast and lung cancer.

Our campaign is dedicated to promoting wellness through education and community. Over the next two months, we are hosting a variety of events designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to lead healthier lives.
