Today we have a conversation with Riley Crotta, Manager of regional health programs with Hamilton Health Sciences.

The doctor's office is usually the place that most people think of when they have discussions around cancer screening and prevention, but what happens when there are barriers such as transportation, housing, or mental health? How about newcomers or those that don’t have a family doctor and don’t know the importance of these screens?

Riley Crotta's team have been providing this mobile cancer screening service to many patients across Niagara and Hamilton, in an effort to help more people keep up to date on their cancer screenings.

Learn about Riley's efforts in this fascinating episode.
