Description
The poster shows colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates at the county level in Texas and in 6 subsections (5 major metropolitan areas and Northeast Texas) in 2024. They also display the locations of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and highlight CRC screening information for each. Each circle on the maps marks the county location of an FQHC’s administrative office. The size of the circle corresponds to the number of patients not up to date with screening. The 10 priority FQHCs are highlighted.
There was a total of 336,421 age-eligible patients (ages 45–74) not up to date with screening across all FQHCs in Texas in 2024. The 10 priority health centers, ranked by the number of age-eligible patients not up to date with screening in 2024, are: Travis County Healthcare District/Central Texas Comm Health Center, Legacy Community Health Services, Barrio Comprehensive Family Health Care Center, El Centro Del Barrio, Heart of Texas Community Health Center, Lone Star Circle of Care, Brazos Valley Community Action Agency, Stephen F Austin Community Health, Regence Health Network, and East Texas Border Health Clinic.
Based on the number of age-eligible patients served by each center in 2024, it is estimated that a total of 147,351 patients were not current with screening in 2024 across the 10 priority FQHCs. The estimated number of such patients per FQHC ranged from 8,450 to 25,068.
