ScreenNJ — Cancer Prevention, Education, and Screening

In partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute, the New Jersey Department of Health, and healthcare and community organizations across New Jersey, ScreenNJ aims to increase screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, genetically-linked, HPV-linked, lung, prostate, and skin cancers to reduce cancer mortality rates, to reduce disparities, and to educate New Jersey residents about the importance of cancer screening, early detection, and prevention.

ScreenNJ partners with, connects, and supports healthcare provider agencies, public health agencies, and community organizations throughout the state that provide education on, refer patients to, or directly provide screening services for cancer. ScreenNJ also helps organizations initiate or expand these types of outcomes-oriented, evidence-based screening and outreach services.

The goals of ScreenNJ are to:

• increase access to timely cancer screening,
• reduce cancer mortality rates,
• reduce disparities in cancer screening access, and
• educate New Jersey residents about the importance of cancer screening, early detection, and prevention
