Tampa, Fla.-based USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute will launch an initiative to address rural cervical cancer care through nearly $2 million in funding from the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund.
The initiative will employ an AI-powered navigation platform across four rural, high-volume primary care clinics, according to a March 31 news release from USF Health.
Through the platform, physicians can identify and engage patients who are overdue for cervical cancer screening. The platform also enables coordinated follow-up specialty care when necessary.
The Florida Cancer Innovation Fund is part of the Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program, which dedicated $60 million to cancer research in 2025.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
