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.

When Dr. Tim Carlson, a valued member of HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital, faced a serious health challenge, he turned to his HCA family at both Pasadena and Trinity Hospitals for diagnosis, treatment, and unwavering support.

The care and encouragement from his colleagues at HCA exemplify the deep loyalty and camaraderie among our physicians and staff.
