Don’t Delay Your Cancer Screenings

At CHRISTUS St. Vincent, we are committed to providing safe and exceptional care to help improve the overall health and well-being of our community. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many appointments, including important cancer screenings, were cancelled or rescheduled. If you or your loved ones have delayed cancer screenings, now is the time to get those appointments rescheduled. We are here to help you learn about your personal health risk factors and to schedule your cancer screenings with a timeline that makes sense for you.
