Atlas Analysis
A strong patient-access opportunity for organizations that can reduce transportation and lodging barriers to cancer screening, treatment and supportive care. The program is especially relevant in rural Maine, where travel distance, limited public transportation and lodging costs can cause patients to delay or forgo care. Competitive concepts should show a practical service model, measurable access impact, community coordination and statewide or regional reach appropriate to the population served.
