Screening and Treatment Programs
Measures concerning cancer detection and treatment programs aimed at reducing health disparities.
An Arkansas law (S.B. 770) encourages each state agency, board, and commission whose scope of services encompasses Arkansas red counties to work collaboratively to implement strategies that may include health screenings, education, awareness, outreach efforts, resource, and service navigation. See the additional summaries of this law in the Health Disparities/Research and Prevention topic and the Health Disparities/State Capacity topic.
