Franciscan Health to offer lung scan deal for National Lung Screening Day

Franciscan Health is offering $49 self-pay lung scans on Nov. 11 in honor of National Lung Screening Day.

To qualify for a lung scan, patients must be over the age of 50, have smoked an average of at least one pack of cigarettes per day for 20 years and have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer.

Hours vary by location and appointments must be made in advance by phone.

Anyone interested in scheduling a scan should call 1-866-600-1919 to see if they qualify and to schedule an appointment.
