Health Screenings

Saint John’s offers a variety of free screenings throughout the year designed to raise awareness of key health concerns and provide opportunities for earlier diagnosis for individuals who might otherwise not have access or motivation to be screened.

Free Oral/Head/Neck Screening

Saint John’s Cancer Center is committed to assisting the community with early cancer detection and prevention. In June, the Cancer Center will be conducting free screenings for oral, head and neck cancer. Saint John's Cancer Center, 2020 Meridian St., will be conducting free screenings on June 16 from 9 a.m. to noon by appointment. To register call 608-2677. The screenings will be conducted by T. Michael Robinson, DDS, and Molly Weiandt, DDS.

Head and neck cancers account for approximately 3-5 percent of all cancers in the United States.  These cancers are more common in men and in any individuals older than 50. Head and neck cancer risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol use, HPV infection, chemical exposure, poor oral hygiene, and chronic irritation.
