Abstract

This article describes a collaborative approach to cancer screening and prevention through a mobile health clinic serving people experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake City, Utah. Through partnerships with local oncology services, the program provides FIT kits for colorectal cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, and lung cancer screening referrals. Early results demonstrate feasibility and high patient acceptance of cancer screening in this traditionally hard-to-reach population.
