In the news release, Color Health Presents Findings on National Telehealth-Based Cancer Screening Programs at ASCO 2025, issued June 2, 2025 by Color Health over PR Newswire, we are advised by a representative of the company that the first bullet should read "Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Program: Launched in June 2024..." rather than "...Launched in June 2025..." as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
Programs were designed in collaboration with the American Cancer Society
CHICAGO, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 Annual Meeting, Color Health presented new findings on the effectiveness of two nation-wide, virtual-first screening programs for colorectal and lung cancer. These programs were designed to expand access to cancer screening and were developed in collaboration with the American Cancer Society.
Aligned with the conference theme of "Driving Knowledge to Action: Building a Better Future," Color's Virtual Cancer Clinic is dedicated to delivering center of excellence cancer care to all patients, from screening to survivorship care. The research presented today at ASCO reflects a commitment to access and rigorous evaluation. Titled "Improving Access to Cancer Screening Through National Telehealth-Based Lung and Colorectal Cancer Screening Programs," the research highlights preliminary results from two initiatives aimed at reducing inequities in early cancer detection using a virtual-first model.
"Despite strong evidence supporting the efficacy of cancer screening, many patients - particularly those in healthcare deserts - face logistical, financial, and systemic barriers," said senior author William L. Dahut, MD, Chief Scientific Officer for the American Cancer Society. "The programs demonstrate that telehealth can be a powerful tool to deliver equitable, scalable cancer screening."
Program Highlights
The Color free cancer screening programs based on ACS screening guidelines and analyzed by Color utilize a centralized digital interface for cancer risk assessments, patient education, home-based testing, and appointment scheduling. Color, through its physician-led team implementing the program, personalized recommendations and managed follow-up on results.1
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Program: Launched in June 2024, Color drives CRC testing through a closed-loop virtual clinical program. At-home fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are distributed to eligible adults (ages 45–75) via community partners such as federally qualified health centers and libraries.
Lung Cancer Screening Program: Initiated in November 2023, Color evaluates eligibility of individuals seeking lung cancer screening, enables low-dose CT scan scheduling, and ensures appropriate clinical follow-up of results through its virtual platform.
Research Focus
Determine patient-initiated interest and final eligibility for cancer screening
Evaluate success of community partnerships and virtual care navigation to enable rapid, accessible cancer screening
Determine outcomes of closed-loop, physician-led virtual cancer screening clinical management
"This work demonstrates how we can reimagine cancer care as a service that meets people where they are - at home and in their communities," said co-author Rebecca Miksad, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer at Color Health. "By integrating virtual care with personalized support, we can bridge persistent gaps in access and bring evidence-based preventive care to those who need it most."
"We believe we've shown what's possible when technology, public health, and community infrastructure come together to remove long-standing barriers to cancer prevention," said Miksad. "We are proud to work with the ACS to support innovative models that help ensure equitable access to life-saving cancer care delivery."
The data demonstrate that telehealth-driven, community-based models can meaningfully deliver access to cancer screening. By reducing logistical barriers and offering personalized, virtual support and medical care, these programs represent a scalable strategy to close screening gaps nationwide.

Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' breasts
Kylie Jenner recently shared details of her breast augmentation, including her surgeon. Kris Jenner also confirmed her plastic surgeon, speculated to be the one behind her facelift. Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Steven Levine are their plastic surgeons with cutting-edge techniques. While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they got done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind the facelifts. Dr. Garth Fisher, Kylie's surgeon, is known for 'teardrop' breasts Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Dr. Steven Levine was behind Kris Jenner's viral facelift View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019; a year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to PEOPLE. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told PEOPLE back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians have had mixed plastic surgery experiences The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some regret past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of " The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident."

USDA Announces Recall of Over 15,000 Pounds of Beef Jerky Due To Undeclared Allergen
On June 3, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Utah-based Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., is voluntarily recalling 15,388 pounds of beef jerky and beef snack sticks, as well as elk, venison, and buffalo jerky products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens. The heat-treated, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat products contain fish, a known allergen that was not declared on the product labels. The issue was discovered during production monitoring by FSIS inspectors, revealing that the new Worcestershire sauce used in certain jerky and snack stick products contained anchovies. The company previously used Worcestershire sauce without this addition. The affected products were produced between May 30, 2023, and May 30, 2025, and were sold nationwide to retail locations under various brand names, including but not limited to: Uncommon Ground, Papa Rays, Spear, Dry Lakes Ranch, Smokehouse Jerky Company, Twisselman, Wild Green Water Ranch, Mr. Bills, Nut Garden, Prospector John's, John & Doug's, Knotts & Co., Killer, Miguel's, Big D's, Bear's, Bubba's, Soldier Summit, Theurer's Quality Meats, and TX Jerky Man. The recalled products bear the establishment number "EST. 20528" inside the USDA mark of inspection. A full list of labels, varieties, and lot codes can be found through the FSIS links: Label Part 1 Label Part 2 Label Part 3 Label Part 4 Label Part 5 Lot Numbers According to FSIS, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers' pantries. Anyone who has these products is urged not to consume them and to return them to the original place of purchase. Anyone concerned about adverse reactions or illness related to this recall should contact a healthcare provider. Questions about the recall can be directed to Ryan Cope, owner of Springville Meat & Cold Storage, at ryan@ Read the original article on ALLRECIPES

B United to wrap up program with youth-focused events
One final event is planned for the month of June as part of the 'B United: Advancing Inclusion and Empowerment in Brantford' project. Last year, the City of Brantford teamed up with WAKING THE unCONSCIOUS (WtC) to connect with community organizations that engage with youth anywhere from the ages of zero to 14. WtC is a Toronto-based equity and social impact consulting firm that collaborates with its clients to customize solutions that respond to unique organizational needs and helps to tackle critical issues. By using data-driven insights and extensive community engagement, the firm works to create effective and inclusive solutions to address various challenges and to drive meaningful social impact. The B United initiative was designed to train and support Brantford's child and youth serving organizations in addressing systemic racism more effectively. 'This contract was focused around Equity, Diversity and Inclusion [EDI ]and the challenges around diversity and the growth of the city, the influx of new immigrants coming to the city, the historical history of those such as the African Canadians that have lived in the city, and the lack of unification of all those groups working together as our world changes,' said Nicole McKinney, Founder of WtC. 'We are in a global reckoning of change and so the ways of the old world are not the same as our world today.' With the support of the City's Health Kids, All Kids program, WtC worked with the Corporation of the City of Brantford to do two things; one being to offer free, introductory EDI training to those child serving organizations, and two, to create seven non-traditional activity-based events for children. Activities started back in October of 2024, kicking off with a free robotics event at the Brantford Public Library, followed by a Brantford Newcomers event; a Healthy Kids, Happy Families event; a B United Learn About Yourselves Kahoot event; and a B United Ball Hockey event. 'We've really tried to focus on a range of things that kids and people can get involved with within the city and be exposed to,' said McKinney. She said that in order to put all of this together, she was proud to have teamed up with equity-deserving communities within the city to create an advisory committee and gain input on what they wanted to see.' 'That advisory group was selected to make sure that we heard the voices of leaders from these equity-deserving communities in the city, and to help understand the concerns they had, the kinds of activities they felt were most important for children to engage in; activities that were psychologically safe, and that were representative of who they were and also representative of how they want to see their kids engage with other kids,' she said. 'There's been some amazing people within the city that have been so supportive, and those advisory group members need all the credit because they have really stepped up so much.' As far as what community members can expect from the B United initiative during the month of June, there will be free inclusion and empowerment training sessions, intended for child-serving organizations throughout the city, taking place throughout the month. 'If anybody's interested or has questions, they can reach out to us and sign up for training by emailing nicole@ ' The initiative's last event, the B United Sports Clinic, will take place on Friday, June 6, at Waterworks Park from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. While there, children ages six to 14 will have a chance to learn soccer, cricket and lacrosse with accredited coaches. Pre-registration is required, and the link can be found here: 'The idea is to give the kids who are participating some exposure to those activities and to learn from people that maybe don't look like them or that they haven't been exposed to; of course, soccer is more of a universal sport but with lacrosse being a historically Indigenous sport, and cricket being a Southeast Asian sport, it gives them the chance to explore some activities and get to know other kids that they may not have been exposed to before,' said McKinney. 'If the children have a nice time, if they learn something new, and if they sign up to cricket or lacrosse after that, then that is the benefit of doing something like this.' Overall McKinney said that B United has been a good initiative and an overall good starting place, but that naturally, there is still a lot of work to be done. 'I think it's going to take a lot of time to get everybody on board, but I think that we definitely made a start in getting people engaged with the people that make up their community,' she said.
