Welcome to Check Up 13, in partnering with St. Vincent Health

WTHR, Channel 13, and Anne Marie Tiernon, co-anchor and health reporter, have partnered with St. Vincent Health on an initiative called Check Up 13. The goal of the program is to educate and encourage Indiana residents to take a proactive role in their own health. Check Up 13 includes news stories that will air on the 13th of every month during the Health Beat segment. The program will highlight St. Vincent Health medical staff and focus on the health topic screening, event or promotion for that month.
 
Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers refer to a group of similar cancers that start in the head and neck including lip, oral cavity, nasal cavity, par nasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx. Approximately 90 percent of head and neck cancers originate from the mucus lining within these regions. Head and neck cancers often spread to the lymph nodes of the neck if they are not caught early enough.
