Cancer screenings available for eligible individuals

Get all the screenings you need in one day, at one location. We will help you understand which screenings you're eligible for.

  • Breast Cancer


    This screening includes a mammogram and a clinical breast exam. You may be eligible for this screening if you’re 40+ years old and haven’t received a mammogram in the past 12 months.

  • Cervical cancer


    Doctors recommend that women get a Pap smear starting at age 21. If your results are normal, you’ll likely only need one every three to five years depending on your age. You may be eligible for this screening if you’re 21 – 65 years old.

  • Colorectal cancer


    You’ll receive a noninvasive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to screen your stool in the privacy of your home. You may be eligible for this screening if you’re 45+ years old.

  • Head and neck cancers


    The clinician will feel for any lumps on your neck, lips, gums, and cheeks during this physical exam, and may also examine your nose, mouth, throat, and tongue for any abnormalities. You may be eligible for this screening if you’re 18+ years old.

  • Lung cancer


    You may be eligible for this screening if you’re 50 – 80 years old and have a history of smoking. Your lungs will be scanned using a low-dose computed tomography.

  • Prostate Cancer


    We’re offering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests for men 45+. This test measures the level of PSA — a substance made by the prostate — in your blood.

  • Skin cancer


    A clinician will check your skin for moles, birthmarks, or any other marks that have an unusual color, size, shape, or texture. You may be eligible for skin cancer screening if you’re 18+ years old.
