Educational programs and early
detection opportunities are key services we
provide as we seek to promote the overall health
and well-being of the residents of Northwest
Arkansas. Hope Cancer Resources provides
programs to increase awareness of high-risk
behaviors, early warning signs, symptoms,
available treatments and support services.
CANCER PREVENTION

SAVE-A-LIFE CANCER
SCREENING PROGRAM
Our Save-A-Life program provides
assistance for screening and diagnostic
tests for breast, cervical, colorectal,
prostate and skin cancers with a
physician’s referral for the uninsured
or under-insured; providing access to
early detection, offering a better
chance for a cure. We will process the
application for assistance through the
Save-A-Life program and guide patients
through the health care system to help
prevent and eliminate barriers to
quality care and treatment. For more
information, contact Casey Shelor,
Director of Cancer Prevention and
Outreach, at 479-361-5847 or
