EARLY DETECTION = BETTER OUTCOMES

Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month

Inspire others to check their health

Have you ever been motivated to action by hearing the story of a friend, family member, or even a stranger? More than a quarter of American adults say they have scheduled a routine cancer screening because of a powerful story shared on social media. Maybe you scheduled your routine medical appointment or cancer screening and got a clean bill of health. Maybe catching your cancer early led to Better Outcomes. Whatever your story is, we want to hear from you! Use your voice to inspire and empower others to check their health. Don’t know if you have a story to tell—or don’t know where to start? We can help. Just email pcf@preventcancer.org to schedule a “get to know you” phone call or use the button below to fill out our simple form!
