See, Test and Treat offers free cancer screenings at UMMC this spring

The See, Test and Treat program is offering free cancer screenings this spring at the University of Mississippi Medical Center for uninsured and underinsured men and women, according to a news release.

Rena Pafford credits the program with an early breast cancer diagnosis, which led to successful treatment. Her experience underscores the importance of early detection in improving outcomes.

The program aims to identify cancer cases early, especially among populations with limited access to healthcare. Eligibility details and additional information can be found on UMMC’s website.

Early detection remains a critical factor in effective cancer treatment, and the program provides a vital service to the community, officials said.
