🫁 Don’t Let Lung Cancer Go Undetected
Symptoms of lung cancer rarely appear until later stages when it is harder to successfully treat. Annual low-dose CT lung screening can help you and your loved ones stay ahead of any potential health concerns.

Who should get screened?
▫️ Between 50 - 80 years old
▫️ Current or former smoker (regardless of how long ago you quit)
▫️ No signs or symptoms of lung cancer
▫️ A 20-pack-year smoking history, which means smoking at least a pack of ci******es a day for 20 years, or two packs a day for 10 years

Speak to your provider about this potentially lifesaving test and if it is right for you. A referral is required.

Beaufort Memorial offers advanced low-dose CT lung cancer screenings in Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and Okatie.

🔗 Learn more and access a pack-year calculator at BeaufortMemorial.org/LungScreening.

Verify Your Insurance Coverage
Annual screening for eligible patients is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many private insurance plans. However, Medicare and other insurers may have additional coverage criteria. Check with your health insurance plan to confirm coverage and possible copays or deductibles. For those without insurance or a high-deductible plan, we offer a reduced price voucher through MDsave.

This week marks the visual start of the Beaufort Memorial Emergency and Urgent Care - Hilton Head Island 🚧
The former building at 1016 William Hilton Parkway has been demolished to make way for the new facility.

Developed in partnership with MUSC Health and Intuitive Health, this innovative hybrid facility will take the guesswork out of deciding whether you need emergency or urgent care. Patients will be evaluated upon arrival and treated at the appropriate level, helping save both time and out-of-pocket costs.

We’re excited to bring this new model of care to Hilton Head Island and continue expanding access to high-quality healthcare services across the Lowcountry.
Learn more about this innovative model at BeaufortMemorial.org/EmergencyUrgentCareHHI
