Description
The Prevent Cancer Foundation's Patient Navigation Grantees program funds 13 projects across the U.S. and its territories to improve cancer prevention and early detection, especially among underserved and high-risk populations. These projects focus on patient navigation, culturally relevant education, outreach, screening, and case management to help individuals access cancer screenings, receive timely follow-up care, and navigate the health system. The supported initiatives address a broad range of cancers, including breast, cervical, colorectal, liver, lung, and others, and emphasize community engagement to improve health outcomes and awareness.
