FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[San Diego CA] – The Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) and Oatmeal Health are proud to announce their partnership in delivering patient education for underserved communities.
The initiative aims to improve the early detection of lung cancer through awareness and education.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. People with lower income and education levels are more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, resulting in poor health outcomes.
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are designed to provide healthcare to underserved populations, including those without health insurance. However, FQHCs face significant challenges in providing adequate care due to limited resources and funding.
To address this issue, LCRF, and Oatmeal Health are working together to develop patient education programs for FQHCs. The programs will focus on early detection and prevention of lung cancer, targeting high-risk populations, such as smokers and those with a family history of lung cancer.
The partnership between LCRF and Oatmeal Health represents a major step forward in improving the early detection of lung cancer in underserved populations. The programs will empower patients to take charge of their health and encourage them to get screened for lung cancer.
Jonathan Govette – CEO of Oatmeal Health
“We believe that everyone deserves access to life-saving healthcare information, regardless of their income or education level,” said Jonathan Govette, Co-Founder and CEO of Oatmeal Health. “We are proud to partner with LCRF to make a difference in the lives of underserved patients.”
