The program includes two advanced mobile clinics staffed by nurse practitioners, nurses, mammography technologists and support staff, according to a Feb. 26 system news release shared with Becker’s. The clinics provide personalized screening recommendations and any necessary lab tests, genetic testing and vaccines for viruses that may be linked to cancer. 

“Our comprehensive mobile cancer prevention and screening program is the next step in our mission to expand access to optimal cancer care, bringing our expertise outside the walls of our campus and into the communities we serve,” Harlan Levine, MD, president of health innovation and policy at City of Hope, said in the release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
