December 12th, 2023 – Stigler Health & Wellness Center in Oklahoma Partners with Oatmeal Health to Help Preventatively Screen Patients for Lung Cancer
SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA, & STIGLER OKLAHOMA
Oatmeal Health, an AI-enabled lung cancer screening provider for Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, announced today a new partnership with Stigler Health & Wellness Center FQHC to bring tech-enabled lung cancer screenings to their patients.
Brooke Lattimore, COO of the Health and Wellness Center, “As the largest rural Community Health Center in Oklahoma, one of the main focuses for our patients is access to affordable, quality care, with screenings being a big part of our primary and preventative mission. Our patients in rural areas often have many barriers to overcome, so partnering with Oatmeal will assist us in removing some of those barriers to provide the best possible access to lung cancer screenings available in the rural eastern portion of our state.”
Jonathan Govette, “We are very pleased to work alongside Brooke Lattimore the COO of Stigler Health and Wellness Center in 8 cities in Oklahoma,” said Jonathan Govette, Co-Founder and CEO of Oatmeal Health. “Brooke has been amazing to work with, her passion for patient care is front and center with everything she does. Our shared goal is to provide better education and access options for high-risk lung cancer patients in Oklahoma and make an impact on the current 2% screening rate. Lung cancer is a serious national problem, it takes more lives annually in the U.S. than the next three deadliest cancers combined, Breast, colorectal, and pancreatic, it is time to change the status quo.”
Oatmeal Health offers complimentary AI technology and nursing staff to Stigler Health and Wellness Center and various Community Health Centers nationwide. This initiative addresses critical challenges in staffing and enhancing quality measures. It stands out as one of the nation’s pioneering programs, uniquely combining primary care and radiology to support marginalized communities – a collaboration seldom seen in healthcare.

CEO/Co-Founder @ Oatmeal Health | AI Lung Cancer Screening | Almost Became a Doctor | Engineer | Follow to Share What I’ve Learned Along the Way
I help patients get the care they need earlier, preventing late-stage cancer.
That’s been the throughline across three companies and almost 20 years in healthcare. At ReferralMD, we fixed broken referral networks so patients didn’t fall through the cracks. At Oatmeal Health, it’s lung cancer: building the diagnostic and screening infrastructure so the 85% of cases caught too late get caught early instead.
Today as CEO of Oatmeal Health, I lead a team embedding AI into radiology workflows to turn routine lung CT scans into reimbursable cancer risk assessments. We partner with FQHCs to reach underserved communities, and with health systems and payers to make early detection economically sustainable. Think HeartFlow or Cleerly, but for lungs.
Between companies, I advised at Techstars and Plug and Play, mentoring founders building in digital health. That experience shaped how I think about what separates companies that ship from companies that stall: distribution, reimbursement, and clinical trust, not just technology.
I’m a CancerX alumnus, a 3x healthcare founder, and someone who believes the biggest problems in cancer aren’t scientific. They’re operational.
We’re hiring mission-driven builders at Oatmeal Health. If you want to work on something that matters, reach out.
When I’m not working, I’m traveling, mentoring, and keeping up with one very energetic husky. 🐾
