Health Screening For Life

For more than 35 years, the Mary How Trust has been offering life-saving health screenings to individuals over 18 in our local Sussex community and beyond.

We look for the early signs of many life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, bowel cancer, diabetes, and aortic aneurysm.

We’re here to listen to your health concerns too, and offer lifestyle guidance to help you stay well.

We are entirely donor supported, and instead of charging a fixed fee for our health screenings, we ask for a donation based on what you can afford.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am really pleased with the services provided by the Mary How Trust - the staff were lovely, and the screening procedure was very thorough. Modern and cutting-edge facilities and equipment. The email instructions/results sent are clear and easy to follow.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I travelled from Worcestershire with my friend to Pulborough and I am delighted to say that the experience that I had was definitely worthwhile. The team were friendly but professional and it was nice to be somewhere that was calm and had a feeling of being not too clinical.   The follow up to my appointment has been exceptional and the report following my health check is extremely clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much, I will return. 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mary How Trust literally saved my life, They found a small amount of blood in a stool sample  that the NHS test would not have picked up on, within three weeks I was diagnosed with colon cancer which had also spread to my liver, all with no symptoms, I had an operation to remove the colon cancer within six weeks of diagnosis and will have second operation on the liver within the next three weeks with a good prognosis, get yourself screened! Thanks again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I go every two years to have my health screening and have a regular DD set up to help/donate towards this. It’s brilliant!! It’s very reassuring to have all the tests and the results are sent to you quickly. You are referred back to your GP if anything is found on the scans or if any other concerns. Your GP gets a copy of your results with your agreement. The health consultation is really helpful too and can help you keep an eye on any possible health risks in the future. Staff are friendly, helpful and reassuring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my husband and I have attended Mary How every two years and they have pre empted a few health issues which we have been able to get further treatment for before any real symptoms appeared. We are so grateful for that. Everyone who reads this review should make that appointment now, don't put It off any longer, you will be glad you took the opportunity to get the thorough health check and reassurance this freely available trust gives.  I have never known anything other than kindness and support over the 20 years I have been using this wonderful service

Informative and knowledgeable staff! No pressure at all. Very welcoming ! Truly remarkable organisation! Definitely return in a couple of years as per the recommendation.
