CL2: FY25 Colon Cancer Screening Services- Expanded Authority

The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) received a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to work with health systems to implement evidence-based interventions, support strategies to increase cancer screenings and conduct quality improvement learning collaboratives. This work will include working with health systems, including Federally Qualified Health Systems and clinics that provide services and primary care, including colon cancer screening opportunities. Utilizing electronic health records to develop maximum opportunities to identify and navigate these persons to colon cancer screening in order to prevent cancer will reduce the burden and mortality of colon cancer in Kentucky.
