Report

Summary

This contract will provide cancer screening services to City employees whose occupations make them a high risk for cancer. The City currently employs approximately 14,000 staff, including approximately 1,854 firefighting staff ranging from firefighter recruits to the Phoenix Fire Chief, as well as other first responders. The initial assessment of an employee will consider the occupational risk of cancer to determine if a consultation is warranted.

Services include dermatology exams, low-dose CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, endoscopies, colonoscopies, blood draws, and other testing to screen cancers.
