Host Guidelines
A few things to consider before applying to host the mobile screening unit:
- There is no fee to host. We provide screenings for insured and uninsured individuals.
- We primarily schedule screening events on weekdays, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm.
- Our unit is designed to provide a full day (6-8 hours) of comprehensive cancer screenings. Therefore, we cannot accommodate requests for only a few hours.
- We require 15 pre-registered screening participants and prefer that participants register in advance. Walk-ins are usually not accepted.
- We recommend that you designate a site coordinator as our main point of contact.
- Host sites are responsible for publicizing the screening event 60-90 days prior to the date.
Site Requirements
To ensure the best experience for everyone, host sites must provide:
- Waiting area for participants prior to screening (if needed)
- Restroom available for participants being screened
- Paved and level parking area that is:
- 60 feet by 15 feet with a 14 foot height clearance
- Accessible without having to make sharp turns in narrow areas
- Has no low tree branches
- Host sites must be located in Burlington, Camden, or Gloucester County, NJ
