Early Detection Saves Lives: Cancer Screening Programs at Neighborhood Health  

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, but when detected early, many cancers are highly treatable. At Neighborhood Health, we are committed to helping our community stay healthy through preventive care and lifesaving cancer screening programs.  

Too often, individuals delay or avoid preventive screenings because of cost, lack of insurance, or difficulty accessing healthcare. Neighborhood Health is working to remove those barriers by providing affordable, accessible cancer screening services to patients throughout Northern Virginia.  

Our cancer screening programs help identify health concerns before symptoms appear, giving patients the best possible chance for successful treatment and better health outcomes. We provide education, screenings, and follow up care (including personalized navigation) to ensure patients receive the support they need every step of the way.  

Neighborhood Health offers screenings and referrals for breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. 

Our healthcare teams work closely with patients to determine which screenings are appropriate based on their age, medical history, and risk factors. If additional testing or treatment is needed, we help connect patients with specialists and provide care coordination throughout the process.  

Preventive screenings are one of the most effective tools we have in the fight against cancer. A routine mammogram, HPV testing, or colorectal screening can detect cancer early, or even prevent it altogether, before it becomes more difficult to treat.  

At Neighborhood Health, we know that healthcare is more than treating illness. It is about preventing it. By expanding access to cancer screenings and preventive services, we are helping individuals and families take charge of their health and giving our community the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.  

No one should miss a potentially lifesaving screening because of cost or lack of access to care. That is why Neighborhood Health is committed to providing compassionate, affordable healthcare for everyone, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
