University of Michigan, Henry Ford expand lung cancer screening availability Saturday

Hospitals across the state are extending hours this Saturday for National Lung Cancer Screening Day, offering low-dose CT scans to detect lung cancer early. Dr. Ella Kazerooni and Dr. Adam Foreman emphasize the importance of early screening for increasing survival rates. People aged 50 to 80 who smoke or have quit within the last 15 years may qualify for screenings covered by insurance with a doctor's prescription. Facilities like University of Michigan Health and Henry Ford Health are participating, ensuring quick and efficient service for patients.
