BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality hotspots in rural Washington, notably Yakima and Richland, identified an 8-year earlier median age of death in non-white patients. Post-pandemic data from WA State Department of Health and MultiCare's electronic health records revealed a 40 ​% decrease in CRC screenings. METHODS: During a 2023 CRC prevention summit, barriers and solutions were discussed focusing on rural Hispanic laborers as this population is often seen at partner locations, Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic (YVFWC). RESULTS: Community outreach-Our team established a presence at Yakima's largest health fair, Fiesta de Salud. We also provided screening resources at Richland's farmers' markets. Planned events-- We will network with local community leaders and health providers to actualize screening (stool-based testing, hands-on endoscopy training). CONCLUSION: Persistent CRC mortality disparities in Washington State underscores the need for targeted interventions. Partnering with organizations and engaging in community outreach aims to increase screening rates and enhance education.
