NEW YORK – November 4, 2025 – The Brain Tumor Foundation (BTF) has announced that it will offer free early detection brain tumor MRI screenings for residents of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. These screenings will take place at the Triumph Baptist Church of Philadelphia (parking lot), located at 1648 W Hunting Park Avenue, on November 11, 12, 13, and 15, throughout the day. Appointments are required for the screenings. Individuals wishing to make an appointment should visit https://scanbtf.org.
