Did you kow CARD does Long Distance Screening?

We know many people who were exposed to the Libby Amphibole Asbestos thru schoolastic events, during the clean up period and prior to the clean up had exposure risks and with the latency period of 10 or more years, it may be time to come in and get screened. Easy for the people who still live here, but not as easy for those who have moved away, or so they might think. We actually do provide Long Distance Screening to those who may have been exposed 10 or more years ago here in Lincoln County while they were living, working or otherwise visiting Lincoln county MT and now are elsewhere living life. If you or somebody you know from at least 10 years is interested, Please forward this infomation to them to they know that whereever they may live now, the past is still with them and they need not come back just for the screening which can be done at local health facilities near them.
