LEWISTON, ME – More Mainers will be receiving free lung cancer screenings, thanks to a generous donation from Free ME from Lung Cancer (FMFLC).

Deb Violette, president of the organization, was at CMMC on Feb. 3, 2026, to present a $10,000 check for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans for high-risk patients. This collaboration is part of Free ME from Lung Cancer’s mission to reduce the suffering caused by lung cancer and promote early detection.

CMMC’s Early Lung Screening Program is a key initiative in the state’s efforts to combat lung cancer.

“By partnering with FMFLC, we can expand access to life-saving screenings and support patients throughout their journey,” said Carmine Frumiento, MD, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at Central Maine Healthcare. “The grant helps to cover costs associated with screening, making it more accessible to those who may not have insurance coverage. This partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration in the fight against lung cancer.”
