Accelerated Cancer Screenings
Our Accelerating Cancer Screening Team works closely with patients and neighboring specialty clinics to increase access to age appropriate cancer screenings as well as any necessary follow-up testing and/or treatments. With an emphasis on education, awareness, and the importance of early detection, the team’s primary goal is to increase Breast, Colorectal, and Cervical Cancer Screenings within our patient population. Despite the many disparities families may face, we work diligently to ensure that each and every patient is given the opportunity to receive needed screenings, therefore, there are options for uninsured patients as well. Please reach out to this department if you have any questions regarding Cancer Screenings, or if you would like to discuss scheduling a screening. Our team is always delighted to assist you!
