  • In 20 events held, 67 cancer screenings occurred, revealing care gaps as 30% of attendees lacked a primary care provider.
  • Collaboration with community partners allowed a person-centered approach for diverse health needs during the pandemic.
  • Emphasizing local ambassadors as trusted resources greatly improved outreach and engagement in underserved areas.
