What is Partners In Wellness?
Feist-Weiller Cancer Center sponsors the community-based Partners in Wellness (PIW) mobile health screening program. PIW was started in 1999. A mobile cancer screening unit with the only mobile digital mammography equipment in north Louisiana travels to rural communities providing them with access to cancer prevention and early detection initiatives.
Partners in Wellness operates two mobile screening vans in Central and North Louisiana. Both vans travel to rural communities to provide cancer screenings to the insured and free of charge to financially qualified uninsured or under-insured individuals.
Screening tests → colorectal cologuard • breast mammography • cervical cancer pap smear • blood pressure
The goal of the program is to reduce the burden of cancer in Louisiana through early detection and prevention. Partners in Wellness aims to promote good health through routine screening exams and education. The PIW mobile clinic is scheduled to go out three to four times a week with monthly and quarterly recurrent clinics throughout the year. We currently travel to 23 parishes in Louisiana to screen patients.
