City of Hope is launching its new mobile cancer prevention and screening program into Southern California communities.
The program aims to address health inequities by featuring two mobile clinics with a full staff, including nurse practitioners, nurses, mammography technologists, and support staff. Mobile clinic clients will receive personalized screening recommendations based on a novel risk assessment and necessary tests. The mobile clinic assesses risk and screens for at least 15 different types of cancer and uses mammography technology for breast cancer screening.
If a mobile clinic client receives a positive finding from their screening, a nurse navigator will guide them through the diagnostic process and provide appropriate resources. Clients are not required to use City of Hope as their provider.
