Screening Programs
Regular Screenings Can Catch Cancer Early and That is Important!
Taking proactive steps for your health benefits not only you but also your loved ones. Regular health screenings can detect potential issues early, making treatment more effective.
JHAH recommends staying current with these three crucial cancer screenings:
Breast Cancer Screening
Women aged 40 and above should have a mammogram annually. Mammograms can detect lumps that may not be felt during a self-exam, offering a vital tool in the fight against breast cancer
Colon Cancer Screening
Men & Women aged 45-74 should have an annual stool test.
A simple stool test can detect hidden blood, an early sign of colon cancer, allowing for timely intervention
Cervical Cancer Screening
Women aged 21-64 should have an HPV test every 5 years. This test is essential for detecting pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, providing a critical window for early treatment
Prostate Cancer Screening
Men aged 50 to 69 undergo prostate cancer screening every 2 years
Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer screening helps detect lung cancer at its earliest stages—when it is most treatable.

When cancer is detected early, treatment is often more effective, significantly improving your chances of survival.
