Living Smart 2024 to offer free lifesaving cancer screenings at SSM Health Cancer Care facility

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 20 to join SSM Health Cancer Care providers for a morning of free cancer screenings, available to anyone ages 50 to 80 years old.

Open to all ages, Living Smart is scheduled from 8 – 11 am at the SSM Health Cancer Care facility, 480 E. Division Street, and will focus on early detection, prevention, and cancer education. Participants need to register for screenings by Monday, April 15.

As part of this year’s Living Smart, SSM Health is offering free lung cancer screening assessments to determine if a low-dose CT scan is right for participants. If eligible, this exam will be scheduled at a future date. SSM Health will also be offering oral screenings and colon cancer screening kits ($5).

“This free health event offers the community a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the importance of early detection, what risks they may have and what steps they should take to decrease their risks of developing cancer,” says Bill Daly, SSM Health Cancer Care director.

SSM Health Cancer Care provides diagnosis and treatment for cancer patients throughout a 10-county region, with locations in Fond du Lac, Ripon, and Waupun.

Preregistration is required for the Living Smart event by registering online at ssmhealth.com/LiveSmart. Individuals without computer access can 920-926-4130 to register. Space is limited.
