Milford Regional to Host Lung Cancer Screening Event on November 15

UMass Memorial Health - Milford Regional Medical Center will be hosting a lung cancer screening event on Saturday, November 15, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The screening is intended for high-risk individuals for lung cancer.

November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month; a day intended to increase access to lung cancer screenings in communities and foster awareness about the effectiveness of those screenings.

Early-detection through low-dose computer tomography scans have proven to be effective among individuals who are considered to be at high risk for lung cancer.

Milford Regional will offer participants free refreshments that morning. Space is limited and a physician order is required. Interested participants should call their physicians to see if they qualify and to have an order placed. Any questions can be directed to Milford Regional’s Lung Cancer Screening Coordinator by calling 508-473-1190.
