What closing the gap would mean
If screening in these counties rose from 15.8% to the national rate of 18.2%, about 2,600 to 6,000 more people would be screened each year.
In the National Lung Screening Trial, low-dose CT screening lowered lung cancer deaths by 20% compared with chest X-ray. Today about 66% of lung cancers here are found at a late stage.

Screening at Overlake Medical Center and Clinics today
Public Medicare claims do not attribute lung screening reads to Overlake Medical Center and Clinics locations. Radiologists who read for a health system often bill through a separate radiology group, so Overlake Medical Center and Clinics's screening volume is best measured from its own records.
Most adults who qualify see a primary care clinician every year. We count 95 primary care clinicians, 0 pulmonologists and 0 thoracic surgeons practicing at Overlake Medical Center and Clinics locations. A 20 pack-year smoking history is often missing from structured EHR fields, so many eligible patients are never flagged.
CMS Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners 2024 (CPT 71271); clinicians matched to Overlake Medical Center and Clinics by practice address using the AHRQ Compendium of U.S. Health Systems 2023, so reads billed by outside radiology groups are not included. The all-payer estimate scales Medicare fee-for-service by the local Medicare Advantage share (55%, CMS) and, at the high end, by the share of eligible adults under 65 (67%).
