Crystal Lake, IL – More cancer patients at Advocate Health Care blossom into survivors every year. Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital invites you to a morning of free screenings and cancer education at the Early Detection and Prevention Fair on Saturday, September 15 from 8 am – 12 pm at the Advocate Good Shepherd Outpatient Center, 525 Congress Parkway, Crystal Lake, Illinois.
Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital's Center for Cancer Care offers state-of-the-art technology, specialized treatment plans, and a team of some of the finest cancer specialists in the Midwest. All of these features lend an increase in survivorship for Good Shepherd patients.
Although, current treatments give us a fighting chance against cancer, the real key to survival is prevention and early detection.

Flu shots will be administered for $20. Mammograms are available on a limited, walk-in basis (bring a doctor's order).
