Why Choose Trinity Health for Skin Cancer Care?

The cancer specialists at Trinity Health have years of experience and the latest tools for diagnosing and treating skin cancer. If you notice something new, changing, or unusual about your skin, contact a dermatologist or your primary care provider and schedule an exam.

Lung Cancer Screening

Why Choose Trinity Health for Lung Cancer Screening?

When you’re concerned about having lung cancer, it’s important that you receive prompt and accurate testing. We offer:

  • Latest technology: Our radiology suite provides a low-dose CT screening program accredited by the American College of Radiology, which is a safe and effective tool to find lung tumors at an early, more treatable stage. The National Lung Screening Trial found that low-dose CT, combined with appropriate follow-up care, can reduce deaths from lung cancer.
  • Team approach to care: Our radiologists work with primary care doctors within and outside of Trinity Health to offer lung cancer screenings. They collaborate closely so your doctor can share the results of your lung CT scan with you and discuss next steps.
  • Eased access: While a physician referral isn’t necessary, our electronic referral management program makes the process easy and gets you in for an appointment sooner.

Patient Navigation

During all stages of your care — from the moment you receive a cancer diagnosis through treatment and beyond — you have needs, and they’re important. Our patient navigators deliver solutions that address all aspects of your health, including physical, emotional and spiritual.

  • Coordination of care before and during treatment through surviving cancer or hospice
