At LIVESTRONG, we believe access for everyone – regardless of zip code, income, age or gender – to cancer screenings and diagnostic services is essential. As Lance likes to say, cancer doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat, old or young, male or female. Our foundation is devoted to expanding access to health care for all through innovative service to patients and their families as well as supporting patient-friendly policies and funding.

If you or a loved one are in need of free screening or diagnostic services, call LIVESTRONG at 1-855-220-7777 or fill out our online intake form. Within two business days, we will provide you information about the nearest free screening and diagnostic services in your region.

All of us should have access to basic diagnostic and medical care, especially the most vulnerable and under-served among us.

    Free screenings make ALL the difference in the world to the uninsured like me. Glad I had my yearly exam last week.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Those free exams and screenings are so important. No organization should feel justified in hindering them.

    What a unique and critical opportunity for the Lance Armstrong Foundation to provide some funding to support Planned Parenthood in its free mammogram program, rather than just posting blog entries and having its followers re-tweet about them.

    Online intake forms and phone numbers? How about some real $$$ donations to a program that just saw another major cancer foundation ‘walk away’?

    It’d be even better if the Lance Armstrong Foundation believed in ACTUALLY FUNDING FREE CANCER SCREENINGS.

    Cancer doesn’t care what about political affiliation. LIVESTRONG is providing funds to pay for Planned Parenthood’s breast cancer screenings. None of the funds will be used for any other purpose. Many of Planned Parenthood’s clients are not able to afford medical care and they turn to the organization for free or low-cost breast cancer screenings. This past week, those screenings appeared to be in jeopardy. Our deep belief that all people deserve access to cancer care moved us to act.
