We are partnering with Renwick Gardens to bring lung screens to Kips Bay! Our Health Screening Van offers early detection and health education services, including lung screens. Lung screens use a low-dose CT scan to take detailed images of your lungs. It’s fast, painless, can catch cancer early before symptoms begin, and gives you the best chance at a lung-cancer-free life. Curious about your eligibility for a low-dose CT lung screening? The first step is to schedule a phone or video consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners to confirm eligibility. If you are 50-80 years old, currently smoke, or have a history of smoking, you may be eligible for a lung screen. Please call the Health Screening Van team directly at (646) 962-5864 (LUNG) if you are interested in scheduling a consult. You may also complete the Community Member Interest Form, and our team will contact you. Pre-screening and appointment required. Lung screening is usually fully covered by insurance for eligible individuals. No insurance? We have options for you.
