The Kansas Masonic Foundation began its Outreach Programs in 2003. These programs are designed to provide free screenings for prostate and skin cancer and free risk assessments for breast cancer. Medical staff from KU Medical Center are on hand to perform the screenings and answer questions from the public.

The program is sponsored by the Kansas Masonic Foundation and hosted by a Masonic Lodge in six different regions of the state as well as at Masons Day in the fall in Kansas City.  Locations for the 2012 regional sites are now being determined. 

The schedule for the 2011 programs include:  September 24 - Hugoton; October 1 - Fredonia; October 29 - Fort Leavenworth; and November 5 - Atwood.  Two more locations have yet to be determined.

The 2009 programs were held in Salina with 115 in attendance.  A total of 114 registered at Hays.  Other clinics were at Fort Scott, at Halstead and at Garden City.  The event at Lawrence was cancelled.  The five 2009 events drew an average of 61 individuals.  A total of 304 people registered.  The six 2008 events drew a total of 213 registrants (36 average per site). A total of 366 individuals took advantage of the free educational programs in 2007, an average of 61 at each site.  In 2006, a total of 564 people signed up at the 6 screenings (94 average per site).
