The screening van is a partnership between The Rapides Foundation, Cenla Medication Access Program (CMAP), and the Partners in Wellness Program at Feist-Weiller Cancer Center at LSU Health Shreveport.
Breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening services are available on the mobile unit for qualified individuals.
