MEDWORKS OFFERS FIRST OF ITS KIND CANCER SCREENING CLINIC FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
On Saturday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3, 2012, MedWorks, its partners, The Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center and the Cleveland Clinic-Taussig Cancer Center, and volunteers will provide two days of free cancer screenings at a MedWorks clinic.
This first of its kind, large scale cancer screening event unites the city’s leading health care providers in providing urgently needed preventative care for the underserved. According to the American Cancer Society report Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Facts & Figures 2012, “studies have shown that those who lack health insurance are more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage of cancer, when survival rates are much lower and treatment is more extensive and costly.” The MedWorks Cancer Screening Clinic will offer access to vital screening tests which are proven to improve survival and decrease mortality by detecting cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective.
The screening clinic on Saturday, June 2nd will focus on women’s health and men’s health cancer screenings. Screenings will include pelvic exams, pap tests, clinical breast exams, mammograms, psa tests and rectal exams.
The clinic on Sunday, June 3rd will focus on providing sigmoidoscopies, dermatology screenings, oral screenings and other cancer-related tests.
MedWorks volunteers will also provide educational information about cancer and MedWorks partner organizations will participate in a resource fair to help connect clinic participants to ongoing medical care providers.
Services will be provided free-of-charge. Patients will be identified through local social service agencies providing safety net services. Patients will be pulled from the safety nets that are identified as in need of these screenings. In addition, medical volunteers and MedWorks media partner WKYC TV-3 will hold a phone bank to schedule appointments for patients deemed appropriate for each screening tool. Some walk-ins will be accepted. Appointments will be scheduled on both days starting at 8am with the last appointment being at 4pm.
University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic have committed to providing follow up care for clinic patients who need more comprehensive screenings and/or treatment. For example, both medical institutions will provide colonoscopies, as well as diagnostic mammograms for patients who were identified through clinic screenings. Contact: Carrie Clark 216.231.5350

The Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland, 12201 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44106.
