Did you know that less than 1 in 10 NH/PI adults and 1 in 4 AA adults who are eligible for lung cancer screening are up-to-date on their screening?

Two significant barriers were found: low awareness of insurance-covered screenings for eligible person and screening coverage is varied greatly from state to state. 1 in 3 Medicaid participants didn't even know they had Medicaid. Find out what Medicaid is called in your state today!

Lung cancer screening can help find cancer early, at the point when treatment may work best. If you are at higher risk because of your age and smoking history, talk with your healthcare provider about whether an annual low-dose CT scan is right for you. Early detection can save lives. 💙

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Asian Americans, and cancer overall is the number, one cause of death for Asian American individuals—making them the only major U.S. ethnic group where heart disease is not the leading cause of death.

In this video, learn about Sadia's breast cancer journey and research findings from Dr. Gomez. Both are continuing the work with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to close the breast cancer gaps Asian American women face. A significant reminder?

Wellness Wednesday - What you can do to be proactive against breast cancer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTlNXjwsJm0

Did you know Americans aged one and older ate 55% of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPF) between August 2021-2023 (CDC, 2025)? Youth ate more of their calories from UPFs (61.9%) compared to adults (53%).

Most of the calories Americans ate came from sandwiches and burgers, sweet baked goods, savory packaged snacks, and sweetened drinks. High UPF consumption is consistently associated with higher risk of many types of cancer (colorectal, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, and lung) according to a 2023 systematic review by Lian et al. titled "Association between ultra-processed foods and risk of cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis".

This breast cancer awareness month, take the time to reflect on your eating habits and diet. How much UPFs do you consume? Where can you make changes? How can you advocate for communities with limited access to healthy, fresh foods?
