FY25 Lung Cancer Screening KY East Outreach C4857

Kentucky Cancer Program, University of Kentucky (UK) Markey Cancer Center Lung Cancer Screening KY East Outreach C4857 Scope of Work KCP at UK Markey Cancer Center has implemented lung health and lung cancer screening initiatives for decades. Alongside our counterpart at University of Louisville, KCP East and West have collaborated and engaged community stakeholders to address lung health and lung cancer screening burdens at the local level. This leveraging of resources with partners allows KCP and its partners to operationalize and customize strategies that best serve community-speci?c needs across Kentucky. Building on successful models, KCP proposes to focus on evidence-based interventions and best practices that improve provider and community stakeholder knowledge of lung cancer screening guidelines. The focus audience may include hospitals, health systems, federally quali?ed health centers, primary care providers, and other partners that provide services to the target population. Additionally, KCP will engage district cancer councils, community partners, worksites and others to implement community and clinical linkages that improve access to care for screening eligible Kentuckians, including collaboration with Kentucky CancerLink for screening navigation services for uninsured and underinsured Kentuckians.
