CT Lung Cancer Screening Program at Aurora BayCare Medical Center
Beginning today, November 17, also the kick-off to American Cancer Society's Great American Smoke Out, Aurora BayCare Medical Center will offer CT lung cancer screenings for only $99.

Who should be screened?
Screening is open to everyone; however, people with a history of cigarette smoking have a higher risk of lung cancer. This may vary based on amount of cigarettes smoked each day and the person's age when he or she started smoking. Also, high levels of pollution, radiation and asbestos exposure may increase risk. High-risk persons who should consider a screening include current smokers (or former smokers who quit within the last 15 years), ages 55 to 74, who smoke or did smoke an average of more than one pack per day for more than 30 years.

To schedule a $99 screening (chest CT scan), call today at 920-288-3300.
