The clinic is set to take place at the Hospital this week on the following dates:


  • Friday, September 6, 2024: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Saturday, September 7, 2024: 9:00 AM - 12:00 Noon

The clinic offers an important opportunity for early detection and prevention of oral cancer, and the cost to attend is only $2.


While waiting, patients will receive education on oral health and hygiene. Additionally, a limited number of dental hygiene products will be distributed.


All patients who complete the oral cancer screening will automatically be entered into a raffle for a chance to win cash prizes, with a total value of up to $500, generously provided by the Yap Cancer Program.
