Mobile cancer treatment centers are an innovative solution for Tribal communities facing significant barriers to care.
In this episode, Kellen Polingyumptewa, manager of Hopi Cancer Support Services, discusses the challenges faced by the Hopi tribe in accessing cancer treatment, including the lack of local facilities.
These are challenges common to many rural and Native communities - and Kellen talked to us about how mobile cancer treatment can bridge the gap and improve access to care for Native Americans. He also highlighted helpful programs such as early cancer detection, tobacco cessation for youth, and financial assistance for cancer patients.
We loved hearing about innovations in cancer treatment - and we think you will too. Thank you, Kellen, for sharing your insights with us!
