At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, people postponed family gatherings, canceled summer vacations and skipped happy hours.

The number of people scheduling cancer screenings also decreased.

That’s why Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute is offering free monthly screenings throughout Western Pennsylvania, including a local event set for Aug. 20.

“We are very concerned about the possibility of an increased number of cancer diagnoses due to missed screenings,” David Bartlett, chair of the AHN Cancer Institute, said in a news release. “In 2022, we’ve already delivered hundreds of free screenings to people from across the region, and hope to reach even more people in the second half of the year.”

Both AHN and non-AHN patients are encouraged to register for the free cancer screening at Peters Township Health and Wellness Pavilion at 160 Gallery Drive, McMurray, on Aug. 20. Health insurance is not required.

Staff will screen for a variety of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer.

In an effort to keep both AHN staff and the public safe, registrants will be checked for COVID-19 the day before the event and upon arrival to the Wellness Pavilion.

Registration is open through Aug. 12.

To book a free cancer screening, call 412-359-6665.
