Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC also reports that most people with lung cancer don’t have symptoms until later stages of the disease. But there’s good news: Regular screenings can find lung cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

As an Aviation Structural Engineer, she specialized in maintenance for the F/A-18 aircraft, ensuring our fleet was ready for action.

?? Honoring Our Veteran Employee: Dr. Kevin Bryan ?? Today, we celebrate the incredible journey of Dr. Kevin Bryan, a dedicated veteran who served in the Air Force for 25 years. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, he was entrusted with overseeing various acquisition programs, including the procurement of F-16 fighter aircraft, crash survivable flight data recorders, and cutting-edge avionic equipment capable of interfacing with orbiting satellites. However, after volunteering with children during college and early in his Air Force career, Dr. Bryan decided to switch career paths. The Air Force supported this transition by sending him to medical school, ultimately leading to a rewarding career as a pediatrician. He served in locations including Korea, Ohio, and the local area at both Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. After an impressive 25 years of service, Dr. Bryan chose to retire and remain in the area, continuing his commitment to caring for children as a pediatrician.
