Early detection saves lives. Valley Health’s Low Dose CT (LDCT) Lung Screening can find lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage — reducing the chances of dying from the disease.

If you’re 50–77 (Medicare/Medicaid) or 50–80 (commercial insurance) with a 20 pack‑year smoking history, currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years, this simple, 10‑minute scan could be right for you. Learn more or call our Lung Navigator at 1-844-LDCT-NOW (532-8669).
