The Wyoming Department of Health Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Program, in collaboration with the Wyoming Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, and various providers across the state, is implementing a statewide program to provide colonoscopies to medically underserved Wyomingites, and to increase the awareness and demand for colorectal screening for all Wyoming citizens. The Wyoming Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Program (WCCEDP) is part of a 5-year plan to achieve the Wyoming year 2010 colorectal screening goal in increasing the percentage of Wyoming men and women who have received a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to 60%. This year alone, the WCCEDP hopes to screen approximately 700 Wyoming residents who are at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. In addition, the program will help those who have no health insurance (or their current insurance does not cover the costs relating to colonoscopy).
