It’s here! The UF Health Cancer Center launched the Mobile Cancer Screening Connector, which will expand access to lifesaving cancer screenings and essential health care services, including 3D mammograms and screenings for cervical, colon, and prostate cancers. The vehicle is the first of its kind in North Central Florida and will expand our efforts to detect cancer early — when it’s most treatable — by eliminating barriers like transportation and time away from work. It's an essential part of our strategy to address the cancer needs of our communities, particularly our rural and aging populations, bringing high-quality health care directly to people where they are.

In October, we wear pink gloves to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support patients on their journey 💓 UF Health | Medline Industries, LP
