Cancer Screening Fund

Early Detection is Crucial

Cancer is one of the most devastating health issues impacting our society. According to the National Cancer Institute:

• Approximately 1.8 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2020
• Approximately 606,000 individuals died from cancer in 2020
• Approximately 39.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes
• Estimated national expenditures for cancer care in the United States exceed $150 billion a year, and this figure is expected rise in the future

Early detection is often crucial to your ability to make a full recovery from cancer. In addition, catching cancer in its earliest stages will allow for more conservative treatments that significantly reduce your overall costs. For these reasons, cancer screenings are an important component of everyone’s ongoing healthcare regimen.

Pioneers Healthcare Foundation has created a Cancer Screening Fund to ensure these important screenings are more readily accessible to members of our community who lack the resources to pay for them on their own.
