“Kentucky leads the nation in death from lung cancer, with mortality exceeding deaths from breast, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancer combined. The combination of high mortality from preventable and treatable disease; a high rate of rural and medically underserved communities, and rapidly changing pathways to reimbursement and access to affordable care place a major strain on the health, wellness and ongoing prosperity of individuals and families across Kentucky.
As the largest health system in the state, KentuckyOne Health is committed to a multifaceted approach to addressing the health issues in our communities. In cancer care, we have invested in early detection and intervention, drawing on our nationally recognized experience from the James Graham Brown Cancer Center in Louisville. We have increased mobile screening throughout Kentucky for a range of cancers, delivering tools in a convenient and cost-effective way. Combined with diagnosis technology like low-dose CT scans for lung cancer, we want to reduce the rates of cancer in Kentucky through early intervention.
Health education and a greater connection to wellness are vital to improved overall health. We offer a range of programs to help individuals build a primary care relationship, understand access and reimbursement pathways, and deliver population health initiatives.”
