The Jewish News
Wins State Honors
The Detroit Jewish News
won second place among the
largest weekly newspapers
in Michigan in the 1991
Excellence in Journalism
Awards. The competition,
judged on overall excellence,
was sponsored by the Uni-
versity Press Club of Mich-
igan.
The paper competed
against weekly newspapers
with 15,000 or more circula-
tion.
The judges' comments in-
cluded: "Is it a newspaper or
a magazine? Reads and looks
a bit like both, but who cares
when it gives the Detroit
Jewish community such a
good package. Contained
some of the best writing and
design elements . . ."

The Lung Cancer Working Group: one of
many ways we're battling cancer
At the Providence Cancer Center, we
know that prompt diagnosis and treatment
increases the chances of beating cancer.
And that's the key to the Providence Lung
Cancer Working Group. 'This unique team
approach brings together a group of
cancer specialists to share expertise and
reach a consensus on the best treatment
plan for the patient. The Working Group
allows patients to begin treatment quickly,
so they can feel in control of the disease
right away.
Providence Cancer Center: advanced
technology
Our comprehensive treatment program
includes fighting cancer with radiation,
surgery and chemotherapy.
• Our affiliation with the Southwest
Oncology Group gives us access to the
latest research, drugs and treatment
programs.
• Our Center's radiation oncology depart-
ment, affiliated with the University of Michi-
gan, is one of just a few programs world-
wide to use a three-dimensional treatment
planning technology that provides today's
most accurate and effective targeting of
tumors.
• If hospitalization is ever needed, our free-
standing Cancer Center is adjacent to
Providence Hospital in Southfield. The
special oncology unit at the hospital is
staffed by nursing professionals trained to
meet the unique needs of cancer patients.

A few months ago, when
Catherine Dillon was
diagnosed with lung
cancer, she was terrified.
But once she came to the
Providence Cancer
Center, her fear turned to
hope. Now, after radiation
therapy, the cancer is
disappearing, and
Catherine's back to
enjoying family, friends—
and life.
