💙 Peace of mind starts with quality care. Lung cancer screening can be an important step in protecting your health.
One LUCAS patient shared that the best part of the experience was knowing they would receive quality scans.

💙 Lung cancer screening, closer to home.
LUCAS, the WVU Cancer Institute’s mobile lung screening unit, brings low-dose CT lung cancer screenings closer to the communities we serve.
For one patient, the best part was simple: the convenience of having screening close to home.
“Being able to get this done so close to home” made all the difference. 💗
That’s what makes Bonnie’s Bus so special! Throughout the year, our mobile mammography unit travels to every West Virginia county.
