Increasing Access to Colonoscopies for Underserved Patients in Aurora

One of the major drivers of disparities in colorectal cancer screening has been access to colonoscopies. In 2023, leaders within UCHealth and members of the GI Division met to address the needs of the uninsured and underinsured patients in Aurora and implemented a new pathway for these patients to access discounted colonoscopies via the Hospital Discounted Care Program. Since inception, this program has provided more than 100 patients access to potentially lifesaving colonoscopies.
