You’re used to hard work—but how about something easy? Our Breathe Easy bus travels throughout your area, bringing fast, easy lung cancer screenings to you. Because if you’re at risk, early detection can be lifesaving. Take this simple step today.
A low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan produces a 3D image of your lungs that provides more detail than an X-ray. This allows physicians to identify lung cancer at an earlier stage, allowing for more successful treatment.
Did you know that lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women in the United States? Symptoms for lung cancer don’t usually present themselves until the cancer has reached a more advanced stage. Early detection is integral to discovering lung cancer before it has progressed and spread to other parts of the body. Screenings are recommended for people who smoke or used to smoke even if they don’t show any signs of lung cancer.
If you match all of the following criteria, you may be eligible to receive a screening from our mobile low-dose CT scanner. If you don’t meet this criteria, you may still qualify for a screening. Reach out to one of our staff members via the form or call (423) 495-5864.
*A pack-year is used to describe how many cigarettes you’ve smoked in your lifetime. For example, if you smoked a pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years, you have a 20-pack year history in both scenarios.
Hard work isn’t a foreign language to you. We want to make this one thing a little easier and bring low-dose CT screening directly to your city. CHI Memorial’s Breathe Easy mobile unit allows our team to reach communities that may not have access to get this scan.
The Breathe Easy mobile unit is here to reach you where you are. You can find the screening unit in a city near you.
