OOOIt is critical to prevent cancer, detect it early, and treat it properly.

We are commited to diagnosing

and treating cancer in its early stages.

Cancer is a diseases that causes ab-

normal cells to grow and divide in the

body. Cancer cells are complex, and

cancer becomes more diffi cult to treat

as it progresses. This is why it is critical

to prevent cancer, detect it early, and

treat it properly.

Through our close and continued

affi liation with the University of

Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Beloit

Health System is able to incorporate

breakthroughs in prevention,

diagnosis and treatment of cancer as
