UNTIL there is a cure for cancer, Kentuckians need help TODAY! #UNTIL

Kentucky CancerLink has started utilizing UBER Health for patients in need of transportation to and from cancer-related medical appointments. We are currently seeking community partnerships to help provide funding for this effort! Transportation continues to be the overwhelming, number one request for Kentuckians in cancer treatment. Call 859-309-1700 if you are able to help! Marketing opportunities available!

Kentucky CancerLink's Programs are only possible due to funding from individuals and Community Partners! We appreciate your support!

Out and About . . . We love our partners!

We were excited to partner with UK Markey Cancer Center for their first ever Head and Neck Cancer screening event: Heads Up! It was a well attended event and always a great time working alongside such amazing and FUN partners! KCL had the great opportunity to partner with UK Markey Cancer Center and the UK Human Development Institute for a health awareness event that included education and access to OC Light FIT Kits for at-home colon screening.

Cancer Screening Early detection saves lives!

Saturday, April 27th FREE Screening Mammogram appointments are available for ladies 40 and older. Please contact Kentucky CancerLink to schedule your appointment! 859-309-1700 Thank you to UK HealthCare Markey Cancer Center for this partnership to provide access to screening! With the support of the UK HealthCare Markey Cancer Center, we are able to provide FREE OC- Light FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test), an at home colon screening kit. These kits are a simple tool that can be used to detect hidden blood and prompt a conversation with your doctor about your health. If you are age 50-75 and have not had a colonoscopy in the last 5 years, give us a call and we can provide a kit for you! Early detection saves lives!
