Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
Guest: Gloria Coronado, PhD
Colorectal cancer screening saw significant disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenge that has also been reflected during natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires. Dr. Gloria Coronado joins Dr. Charles Turck to discuss how these kinds of crises impact screening rates and how a focus on community-based care, telehealth and home-based testing, and targeted efforts for underserved populations can strengthen resilience and ensure continuity of care during future disasters. Dr. Coronado is a Professor of Epidemiology and the Associate Director of Population Science for the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson.
