Onondaga County Health Department offers no-cost or low-cost cancer screening and education for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. All services are confidential and no one is turned away due to inability to pay.
Clinics are held throughout Onondaga County that offer exams, mammograms, Pap tests and colon cancer screening for women. These services are offered through the Women’s Health Outreach Program and providers from the Partnership for Healthy Living. Services are based on age, income, family size and health insurance status. You may even qualify if you have health insurance. Call 435-3653 for information about these programs or to make an appointment.
Screening for colorectal cancer is available to men and women through a home test kit called a Fecal Immunochemical Test or “FIT Kit”. The kit is mailed to your home with detailed instructions. The kit is available free of charge to men and women age 50 or older with no health insurance or if insurance does not cover this service. When you return the kit within 30 days, you even get a $5.00 grocery store coupon! Other testing is also available for adults with certain risk factors. Call 435-3653 for information about this program or to request a kit.
