Community Health Outreach and Education Program
Helping you learn your risks from cancer.
Cancer Prevention and Early Detection
The best way to beat cancer is to prevent it, or find and treat it early. ChristianaCare offers a variety of community-based educational programs to help you learn your risk for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, prostate and skin cancer. We can also help you learn ways to prevent cancer and know what symptoms to watch for. We can also help you find early detection cancer screenings convenient to where you live, work or worship.

No Delawarean should go without screening or needed care for financial reasons!
If you do not have insurance, or cannot afford the co-pay for a needed cancer screening, let us know. Funding is available to make sure every Delawarean who qualifies has access to care. We can help connect you with the program that is right for you for low-cost or free screenings.
