Free Mobile Cancer Screenings

Our History

For over 40 years, Kansas Masons have contributed more than $35 million to KU Cancer Center research to help educate about the importance of early detection and preventive screenings, and to improve access to cancer care and clinical trials.

Mobile Cancer Screening Unit

HOPE on Wheels, a mobile screening unit, was purchased with a nearly $1 million donation from the Kansas Masons, including a special campaign that raised $500,000 to fund the mammography equipment. The 42-foot mobile clinic includes a state-of-the-art mammography machine, three private exam rooms, a screening and dressing area, a medical refrigerator, a bathroom, and a phlebotomy station.

Benefits of HOPE on Wheels

With the help of mobile health clinics, the Masonic Cancer Alliance can serve an estimated 100 individuals each day with no appointment necessary. Because health insurance coverage is not required for participation, we will be able to better support underserved populations and ensure geography isn’t a barrier to early detection.
