Lung screening saves lives

You may start seeing this message across Indiana: Lung screening saves lives.

End Lung Cancer Now is expanding its reach with a new awareness campaign across the state—bringing this life-saving message directly to communities where it matters most.

Over the next several weeks, you’ll see billboards in 29 locations across Marion County and rural areas, along with transit ads on 26 buses and IndyGo shelters.

This campaign is focused on one critical goal: helping more people understand their risk and take action through early detection. Lung cancer is often found too late—but screening can change that.

Know your risk. Take the next step.
