Rural Americans often face major barriers to cancer care. In Colorado, no licensed oncologists are based in the eastern third of the state. CNN joins Dr. Robert Hoyer as he tries to fill that void on his monthly trip to treat rural patients. This story was reported in collaboration with the Global Health Reporting Center with support from the Pulitzer Center.
