Northern Light Mercy Hospital to participate in National Lung Cancer Screening Day on Saturday

Date: 11/09/2023

Early detection is one of the best ways to improve lung cancer survival. It’s a message Northern Light Health is sharing this month in the fight against the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.

Northern Light Mercy Hospital is screening patients on Saturday, November 11. Imaging teams across Northern Light Health will perform scheduled low dose CT scans that can help detect lung cancer early, before symptoms occur and with less radiation. 

National Lung Cancer Screening Day is on Veterans Day this year. Veterans who are eligible to be screened are encouraged to have a conversation with their primary care provider about scheduling a screening.
