Your lung health is vital to your overall well-being, and catching lung diseases early can make all the difference in your treatment.
At Norman Regional, we believe preventive care matters and that early detection saves lives. That’s why we’re offering special opportunities this November for patients to receive lung screenings at a discounted rate. We are making it easier than ever for our patients to take charge of their lung health.
Why Screening Matters
Regular lung screenings are important not only to catch cancer, but also for catching lung nodules, early lung changes, and other lung diseases that can progress if they go unchecked. Annual screenings can help detect problems early, when they’re most treatable.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and Oklahoma continues to rank among the lowest in the nation for lung cancer screening rates. Yet when detected early, lung cancer and other diseases can often be treated successfully.
Who is Eligible for a Lung Scan?
You may be eligible for a lung screening if you:
Are 50 to 80 years old, and
- Currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years, and
- Have at least a 20 pack-year smoking history (packs per day × years smoked).
No physician referral is needed. Please note that payment for the lung scan is due at the time of service.
Risks of Not Receiving Regular Lung Screenings
Skipping screenings may increase the risk of late detection. Patients may be more susceptible to the following:
- Lung nodules (small spots) may grow or change without symptoms
- Early lung cancer may grow, spread, or become harder to treat
- Other lung diseases may progress silently until they cause major symptoms and require more intensive treatment or surgery
Annual screenings give you more control, more information, and better chances for treatment if needed.
$75 Lung Scans All November Long
Norman Regional is offering discounted lung screenings for just $75 starting November 1. To receive the discounted rate, scans must be completed by November 30, 2025.
If you’re 50 or older and currently smoke or have a history of smoking, this simple 10-minute, low-dose and non-invasive CT scan can give you peace of mind and help detect potential lung issues early, when treatment is most effective.
“For just $75, you can get peace of mind,” said Brian Whitson, MD, FCCP, Pulmonologist at Norman Regional Pulmonary Clinic. “Lung screenings save lives. The goal is to catch potential issues early, before symptoms appear, when treatment options are most effective.”
Lung scans can be completed at four of our imaging locations: Norman Regional Hospital, Norman Regional Moore, Norman Regional Nine and Central Imaging in Norman.
Schedule your scan today at NormanRegional.com/LungScan or call 405-307-2290.
