SB 810 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to lung cancer prevention and education

SB 810 establishes a Lung Cancer Prevention and Education Program within West Virginia's Bureau for Public Health to target underserved communities lacking access to screening. The bill provides grants to qualified organizations (like hospitals or clinics) to offer low-dose CT scans for early lung cancer detection, along with education and referral services. Eligible applicants must meet specific standards for quality screening, collaboration with healthcare providers, and outreach to underserved populations. The program requires annual reporting on services provided and outcomes, and it uses funding from the state's Rainy Day Fund to cover screening costs for qualifying residents.
