Bring Life-Saving Lung Cancer Screening to Your Community
USA Mobile Medical is one of the country's leading manufacturers of mobile lung cancer screening CT coaches — delivering purpose-built, turnkey programs that help hospitals, cancer centers, and health systems expand access to high-risk populations.
Lung Cancer Is the Most Preventable Cancer Death — Yet Most Go Unscreened
Lung cancer accounts for more deaths than breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers combined. Early detection through low-dose CT (LDCT) screening is proven to save lives — yet access, capacity, and awareness gaps continue to limit program growth across the country.
Only 26% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at an early stage, when treatment options are most effective and costs are dramatically lower.
The Communities That Need It Most Are the Hardest to Reach
Rural and underserved communities face the highest lung cancer burden — and the fewest resources to address it. An estimated 17–20% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas, yet they have access to only 3% of the country's practicing medical oncologists. Over 70% of U.S. counties have no access to medical oncologists at all.
Rural & Underserved Communities
Limited specialist access, older populations, and socioeconomic barriers lead to later diagnoses and worse outcomes. Mobile screening brings the solution directly to patients.
Firefighters & First Responders
According to NIOSH, firefighters face a 9% increase in cancer diagnosis and 14% higher cancer-related deaths. Carcinogen exposure on the job puts them at significant risk.
EMS / EMT Professionals
EMS workers often respond to the same toxic exposure events as firefighters, frequently with less protective equipment. Cancer is among the leading occupational health threats they face.

Test Your Community's Need — Start with a Rental
Not every program starts with a new build. A rental lets you launch quickly, gather real-world data, and prove program viability — before committing to a long-term investment. It's one of the smartest ways we help health systems and cancer centers get started.
Standard rental deployments in as little as two weeks — so your community starts getting screened while your long-term program takes shape.
Gather Community Data First
Understand real screening demand in your service area before investing. Track patient volumes, geographic reach, demographics, and referral patterns to build a data-driven case for a permanent program.
Deploy in Weeks, Not Months
Standard rentals deploy within two weeks — with emergency placements available in as little as 48–72 hours. Start screening patients while you plan your long-term strategy.
Prove Program Viability
Present real outcomes to hospital leadership, boards, and grant committees. Nothing builds support like demonstrated patient impact and a working proof-of-concept in your own community.
Seamless Transition to Ownership
When you're ready to invest, USAMM helps you transition from rental to lease, rent-to-own, or a fully custom new build — with no disruption to your screening operations.
Launching a Mobile Lung Cancer Screening Program
Bringing lung cancer screening to underserved communities requires strategic planning, the right technology, and strong partnerships. Here's how USAMM helps you get there.
Assess Community Needs & Define Goals
Conduct a community health assessment to identify high-risk populations, map geographic coverage gaps, and set measurable program goals such as screening volumes and early detection targets.
Secure Funding & Financial Support
Explore federal and state grants, nonprofit funding (LCRF, LUNGevity, ALA/ACS), hospital budget allocations, and USAMM's flexible lease and financing options to minimize upfront capital.
Select the Right Mobile Platform
Choose your platform (drivable coach or trailer), OEM CT system, and configuration based on patient volume, deployment frequency, site access, and program scalability goals.
Build Your Screening Team & Train Staff
Recruit technologists, nurses, and program coordinators. Establish workflows for scheduling, image interpretation, and follow-up care. USAMM supports onboarding and go-live readiness.
Develop Community Outreach & Awareness
Partner with local clinics, employers, fire departments, and public health organizations. Use social media, direct outreach, and health fairs to inform and engage eligible patients.
Launch, Track & Scale Your Program
Begin with a pilot phase to refine logistics. Use data and outcomes tracking to measure impact. Scale deployment days, locations, or units as screening demand grows.

LDCT Screening Eligibility & At-Risk Populations
Understanding who qualifies for low-dose CT screening — and who is most at risk — is the foundation of an effective mobile lung cancer screening program.
USPSTF Screening Guidelines (2021)
- Age 50–80 years — annual low-dose CT screening recommended
- 20 pack-year smoking history — (e.g., 1 pack/day for 20 years, or 2 packs/day for 10 years)
- Currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years
- Screening should be discontinued if the person has not smoked in 15+ years or develops a health problem that limits life expectancy or ability to have curative lung surgery
Source: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), 2021 Recommendation. Medicare and most private insurers cover annual LDCT screening for eligible individuals at no cost-sharing.
High-Priority At-Risk Populations
Rural & Underserved Communities
17–20% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas with access to only 3% of practicing oncologists. Over 70% of counties have no oncologists at all.
Firefighters
Regular carcinogen exposure leads to a 9% increase in cancer diagnosis and 14% higher cancer-related deaths (NIOSH).
EMS / EMT Professionals
Often younger than traditional screening age guidelines, but face similar carcinogen exposure risks — particularly without adequate PPE at toxic events.
Occupational Exposure Groups
Workers in manufacturing, mining, construction, and agriculture with known asbestos, radon, or chemical carcinogen exposure face elevated lifetime lung cancer risk.
Flexible Financing for Every Lung CT Screening Program
We understand that every program has different financial constraints and goals. USAMM offers multiple pathways to get the mobile platform you need — without upfront capital burden.
Short-Term Rental
6-week to 6-month deployments with full maintenance and support. Perfect for pilots, proof-of-concept programs, and seasonal initiatives.
Multi-Year Program
Long-term lease arrangements (2-5+ years) with predictable monthly payments and dedicated program support — ideal for sustained operations.
Rent-to-Own
Start with rental payments that apply toward ownership. Transition from short-term testing to permanent asset ownership when ready.
Program ROI & Financial Impact
Mobile lung cancer screening programs deliver measurable ROI through volume throughput, grant funding eligibility, and patient retention. USAMM helps quantify program economics and identify funding opportunities — including federal grants, nonprofit partnerships, and insurance reimbursement models — so you can build a financially sustainable screening program from day one.
