Texas C-Step

What is Texas C-STEP?

Led by the Texas A&M Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine's Department of Primary Care and Rural Medicine in collaboration with the School of Public Health, Southwest Rural Health Research Center and Colleg of Nursing, Texas Cancer Screening, Training, Edcuation, and Prevention Program or Texas C-STEP delivers vital cancer screenings and advanced diagnostics—free or at low cost—to uninsured, underserved, and low-income Texans.

What We Do:

• Life-saving breast, cervical, colorectal, and liver cancer screenings
• Hands-on training for future doctors and nurses
• Culturally sensitive outreach by community health workers
• Expanded access made possible by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texsa (CPRIT) grants
• Serving as a statewide and national model for bringing advanced cancer screening (like colonoscopy) into local family clinics

Together, we’re increasing access, saving lives, and educating tomorrow’s healthcare heroes.
