As of July 1st, 2015 the colon screening program will lose funding. The CDC has changed its colon cancer grant funding selection process, which is making funding more competitive. Washington state is unsure of whether the program will be awarded colon funding or not so the closing process for the grant has been implemented and no colon screening kits will be accepted or provided. Other funding sources for colon screening and prevention are being sought, but the future of the colon cancer screening is uncertain at this point.
