Community Education

Knowledge is a powerful tool against cancer. Community education connects people with practical information about prevention, screening and the steps they can take to protect their health.

Community Programs and Services

Through local programs, screenings and events, the MCW Cancer Center shares practical cancer information and brings prevention and early detection into communities across Wisconsin.

Mobile Cancer Screening

Getting screened should not depend on how close someone lives to a health care facility. CAREScan brings screening for breast, lung, colon, prostate and liver cancers into communities, helping more people connect with early detection, information and follow-up resources close to home.
