Cancer Screening Matters
Getting screened (early detection) for cancer is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself healthy. The goal of early detection is to find pre-cancerous lesions or cancers at an earlier stage before it has had a chance to spread. Also, when found at earlier stages, there may be more treatment options.

Our cancer screening program is focused on increasing access to health care.
