COLUMBUS, Ind. – Columbus Regional Heath (CRH) has announced two important health screening opportunities for the public in November.
CRH Breast Health Services will present a free clinical breast screening event on November 9 for those whose insurance does not cover breast screenings. Also, throughout November, the hospital’s Lung Care Team will provide low-cost lung scans to anyone eligible who hasn’t had a lung scan before.
If caught early, 95% of breast cancer cases can be successfully treated. CRH is hosting a free clinical breast exam, to detect possible breast cancer and provide referrals if a mammogram is needed, this Saturday, November 9, from 8 a.m. to noon, at 2325 18th St., Suite 220.

This is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and Columbus Regional Health offers reserved appointments for patients needing a first-time lung scan on November 9, 23, 29, and 30. Scans are $25 and will not be submitted to insurance. Payment is due at the time of the test. Eligibility requirements can be found at crh.org/events. Those who have had a previous scan will be scheduled on another date.
