Description
The Prevent Cancer Foundation’s Patient Navigation Grantees program funds 13 projects across the U.S. and its territories to advance cancer prevention and early detection, with a strong emphasis on patient navigation. Funded initiatives focus on increasing access to cancer screenings, providing culturally tailored education, and guiding individuals—particularly those from underserved or high-risk communities—through the health care system. The goal is to improve health outcomes and reduce cancer deaths by addressing barriers to care and promoting early detection using community-based, collaborative strategies.
