The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on people’s health, finances and access to care. Not only is the virus responsible for the death of more than 200,000 Americans, but it has kept others away from their doctors at an alarming rate. Since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March, preventive measures such as colonoscopies, mammograms and annual exams are down 50% or more—a disturbing trend that can lead to dangerous delays in cancer diagnoses and treatment.
