IL SB3887

Authorizes the Illinois Department of Public Health to establish the Screen Illinois Initiative, expanding mobile health screening units statewide to provide preventive screenings for cancer, chronic conditions, metabolic issues, and infections in underserved and rural communities.

Requires the Department to increase mobile health screening unit hubs from the current 5 locations to ensure every region of the state has access within one hour's distance by January 1, 2028, with targets of at least 20,000 annual screenings and a 75% follow-up completion rate.

Prioritizes deployment to medically underserved areas, counties with below-average cancer screening rates, and counties where residents must travel at least 20 miles to access fixed-site screening services.

Establishes stable state funding to cover vehicle purchases and maintenance, clinical staff salaries, equipment costs, and daily operations, replacing the current variable grant-based system that fluctuated from $5.77 million in FY 2023 to $515,000 in FY 2025.

Mandates standardized statewide protocols for follow-up care and referrals, eliminating the current system where individual community organizations manage their own varying methodologies for screenings and referrals.
