Minority groups often present with more advanced cancers and experience worse survival rates, even after adjusting for socioeconomic status. The health disparities faced by these communities are exacerbated by the lack of access to free cancer screening and low-income insurance options like Colorado's Health First or Medicaid. As a result, those with high-risk illnesses often do not receive the proper blood screenings or genetic testing early enough to prevent cases of advanced illness.

In Colorado and nationwide, uninsured patients, as well as those covered by Health First and Medicaid, are facing significant health disparities, including a lack of access to essential services like blood screenings. These challenges result in delays in treatment and limited access to specialized care, including oncologists and cancer specialists. We are actively seeking funding to provide free cancer screenings and genetic testing in these low-income communities across Colorado and soon nationwide.

In Colorado and other communities, the underutilization of free cancer screening and genetic testing for hereditary illnesses is a significant issue, particularly among low-income populations. This challenge stems from factors such as cost, lack of insurance, and limited provider availability, which create health disparities not only for disadvantaged groups but across most demographics in the state and nationwide. Currently, Health First and Medicaid do not provide these crucial blood screenings for these illnesses.
