Why Mary Bird Perkins?

We bring cancer prevention directly to you. 🚐

Knowing which cancer screenings you need — and when to get them — can feel overwhelming. That's why our Prevention on the Go (POGO) program brings cancer screenings and education directly to the communities we serve.

We visit workplaces, churches, community centers and local events. And at each one, our goal is to make early detection more convenient and accessible.

Since 2002, Prevention on the Go has:
✔️ Provided more than 120,000 cancer screenings
✔️ Helped detect nearly 1,000 cancers
✔️ Connected thousands of people with potentially lifesaving care through earlier detection

If you're wondering what cancer screenings are recommended for your age or risk factors, we're here to help.🫶

Sometimes, a second opinion can change everything. 💜

When Bob Naman was diagnosed with bladder cancer, he and his wife, Barbara, knew they wanted another perspective on his treatment. That search brought them from Mobile to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center in Metairie and urologic oncologist Dr. Scott Delacroix.

What followed was more than two years of treatment, a clinical trial and countless trips between Mobile and Metairie. Along the way, Bob and Barbara found something they didn’t expect: a care team they came to consider family.

In July, Bob completed treatment and rang the bell. 🔔

His story is one of trust, asking questions and finding confidence in the people caring for you.

Have you or someone you love ever sought a second opinion during a cancer journey? Read Bob and Barbara’s full story at the link in the first comment.
