Mobile Cancer Screening Act
HR 10506, the Mobile Cancer Screening Act, authorizes $15 million annually (2026-2030) to fund mobile cancer screening units that expand access to early detection in rural and underserved communities. The bill provides grants of up to $2 million per recipient to eligible entities like nonprofit hospitals, health centers, and academic institutions for purchasing vehicles, imaging technology, and digital tools. Grantees must cover at least one-third of costs through non-Federal funds and prioritize areas with high cancer mortality, rural populations, and Indian Health Service regions, while ensuring follow-up care within 90 minutes. The program requires a 4-year report to Congress tracking patient demographics, screening rates, and outcomes to evaluate impact.
