The recovery to a healthy and sustainable community after the pandemic will require multidisciplinary and diverse support from health care and community partners. Cancer screenings, particularly those for breast cancer, will be an important measure of this recovery, and through novel and supportive community coalitions such as the one supported by the American Cancer Society/National Football League CHANGE grant, individuals, including those from underserved communities, can safely be identified and treated at earlier stages when survival and recovery are the most favorable.
