See, Test and Treat is offering free cancer screenings this spring for uninsured and underinsured men and women at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, UMMC said on its website.
UMMC said the program led to an early breast cancer diagnosis and successful treatment for Rena Pafford, highlighting the potential impact of outreach screening efforts for people who lack adequate insurance.
Early detection of cancer through screening often improves treatment options and outcomes, medical experts say, and programs that remove cost barriers can help reach people who otherwise might delay care. See, Test and Treat is part of efforts by health providers to expand access to preventive services for vulnerable populations.
Officials encourage people who think they may be eligible to visit the UMMC news page for details on eligibility and how to schedule screenings. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
