Cancer prevention begins long before a diagnosis with access to trusted primary care, recommended screenings and timely follow-up.
In this episode of Community Health Centers Unfiltered, host Amanda Pears Kelly speaks with Katie McMahon, MPH, Principal of Policy Development–Prevention at the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. They explore what effective cancer prevention looks like in practice, why many patients still miss lifesaving screenings and how Medicaid coverage and other public policies influence prevention and early detection.
The conversation also highlights the essential role community health centers play as the front door to cancer prevention, helping patients overcome barriers, addressing disparities and connecting people with care before a health concern becomes a crisis.
