Screening for Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among American women, affecting one in eight women throughout their lifetime. A mammogram is the most powerful and effective tool available to detect breast cancer at the earliest possible stage before it can spread to other parts of the body.
A few of the main breast cancer risk factors include:
- Being over age 40
- Family history of breast cancer
- Lifestyle choices (obesity, inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive red or processed meat consumption)
Talk to your doctor right away if you’re experiencing pain or new symptoms in your breasts. If you need a routine screening, we’re here to make it simple and convenient.

Screening for Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer affecting women. But it’s more than 90% curable if diagnosed early. For women with an average risk of colon cancer, colorectal screenings like colonoscopies should start at age 45 — which is now earlier than the previously recommended age 50.
A few of the main colon cancer risk factors include:- Being over age 45
- Having Type 2 diabetes, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis
- Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps
- Lifestyle choices (obesity, inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive red or processed meat consumption)
Talk to your doctor right away if you’re experiencing unexplained weight loss, blood in your stool, abdominal pain or other abnormal symptoms. Our digestive health specialists offer you more ways to get screened, including traditional colonoscopies and simple at-home tests.

Screening for Lung Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer death rates have declined in recent years — but the rate of women diagnosed has increased within the last 20 years. In most cases, lung cancer doesn’t show any symptoms until it’s more advanced, making screening even more critical.
Lung screenings are recommended for anyone considered high-risk, meaning they:- Are age 50 or older
- Are a smoker or have quit within the last 15 years
- Have smoked one pack of cigarettes per day for at least 20 years or two packs per day for at least 10 years
Talk to your doctor right away if you’re experiencing breathlessness, coughing up blood or have any other persistent chest symptoms. Our Health Navigators can connect you with a specialist who performs lung cancer screenings like low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans. And if you meet the high-risk criteria, most insurances will cover your lung cancer screening.
