Everett Nonprofit Starts Statewide Cancer Screening Fund After Federal Cuts

EVERETT—Everett-based Citrine Health is launching the Washington Health Screening Fund to help pay for breast and cervical cancer screenings for uninsured and underinsured residents across Washington. The effort is to counter reductions in federal support for the state’s Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program, which the Department of Health has run for 35 years, and which now faces the risk of running out of money in the coming months.
