Project Summary
The Patient Navigation Screening Program is a community based initiative using a barrier reduction focus to facilitate screening for breast, cervical, and/or colon cancer. The target population is low income, asymptomatic individuals who are not current with these three screenings. The program provides free navigation services that include individualized, personal assistance by trained navigators, identifying and resolving barriers to screening or health care, facilitating timely access to follow up needs, connecting patients to community and medical resources, and coordinating care among treatment providers when necessary.
