IU Health Mobile Lung Screening Unit Coming to Dubois County

The Indiana University Health Mobile Lung Screening Unit will be visiting the Dubois County Health Department on Thursday, April 23, offering convenient and potentially life-saving lung screenings for eligible individuals. The unit will be on-site at 1187 South Saint Charles Steet, Jasper, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but early detection can significantly increase survival rates. This mobile unit brings state-of-the-art technology directly to the community, offering low-dose CT scans to those who qualify — helping detect lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. 

If you currently smoke or have quit in the last 15 years and are between the ages of 50 and 77, you may be eligible. The scan requires no needles, no special diet, or change of clothes. Lung screenings are typically covered by insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, if you meet eligibility requirements. You may be eligible for financial assistance if you have no insurance. 

Appointments are required. To check eligibility and schedule your screening, please call 317-962-5864.
