Thanks to everyone who came to our Lung Cancer Awareness pop-up, where we shared information about our free lung screenings in November.

We've teamed up with the American Lung Association to remove financial barriers to early detection. UMC is covering all out-of-pocket costs for low-dose CT lung cancer screenings through November 2025, making it easier for eligible patients to get life-saving care.

Adults 50–80 with a significant smoking history (20 pack-years) or those who’ve quit within 15 years may qualify. Medicare-eligible patients are covered ages 50–77.

Providers can order screenings directly through Epic/Epic Care Link or fax 504.702.5575.
Patients can call 1-844-ALA-LUNG for help with expenses or navigation.
