The Challenge

Improve cancer screening rates for diverse populations in our region.

The Solution

Screen Easy is a new, innovative initiative helping patients and families better understand their health care options. A dedicated toll free phone number was put in place, offering assistance in different languages. The phone line provides easy access to information about health care options. It also connects people who are experiencing language, transportation or cultural barriers with resources in the hospital and community, such as cancer screening.
