Augusta Green, Director of Brentwood Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, speaks about the benefits of detecting cancer early with Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) tests. The National Minority Quality Forum Action Network is partnering with community members like Augusta to advocate for Medicare and Medicaid coverage of the MCED tests that minority communities need.
“Early detection or early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes and survival rates, allowing individuals to take control of their health.”
