Initial conversations identified significant barriers including lack of cancer screenings, access to care and the need for specific cancer related education. Since the conception of this relationship, 94 patients have received free LDCT scans, 103 individuals have received free mammograms, and 12 Ambassadors have been educated by the ICAN Program, an interactive cancer education program specific to children. Lung cancer screening rates alone have increased from 5% to 60%.

Throughout this partnership, LCI has had the opportunity to deliver comprehensive whole human care through personalized navigation. This includes connecting positive screening patients into care while assessing and identifying other barriers present. Some of these include transportation needs, food insecurity, housing deficits, and other health concerns. In turn, the CSU utilized this one stop shop method to complete necessary preventative immunizations and blood tests outside of cancer.
