Mobile Cancer Screening Workplace Program

The Regional Cancer Program offers Hamilton businesses a new way to help employees stay healthy.

Hamilton companies can bring FREE cancer screening services to men and women in the workplace through the Mobile Cancer Screening Coach Workplace Program. You may have heard about this innovative new program through CHCH Morning Live, CBC Hamilton or The Hamilton Spectator.

Routine screening is an important part of cancer prevention and early detection because it can catch signs of cancer early when it’s easier to treat. This unique program offers two options, depending on your company’s needs.

The Mobile Cancer Screening Coach is a 45-foot-long bus that can bring cancer screening directly to workplaces, free-of-charge. Its services are aimed at mid-to-large size companies with screening-age employees who:

  • Don’t have a healthcare provider such as a family doctor or nurse practitioner
  • Have a healthcare provider but face barriers such as transportation, cultural or other personal factors that prevent them from participating in cancer screening.

What to bring: A valid Ontario Health Card is required for screening services on the Coach.

Parking the Coach: The Coach needs a location to park that’s level and accessible for employees, as well as a place nearby for the Coach team to park their vehicles. Our team also requires access to a washroom inside your facility. We require employers to promote the Coach services to their staff in advance of our visit, and will provide all promotional materials.

A visit from the Cancer Screening Promotions Team is a great option for smaller companies with lower numbers of screening-age employees. Our Promotions Team sets up an information table at workplaces with local cancer screening information and giveaways. The Promotions Team is ideal for Wellness Fairs, Lunch and Learns, and other events aimed at sharing healthy lifestyle information with staff. This is also a free service.
