Promote Breast Cancer Awareness and Mammograms
Among Chinese Women in Northern New Jersey Program
Your Dollars at Work: A Snapshot
The program aims to remove barriers to health care and increase the breast cancer screening rate among Chinese American women in Northern New Jersey.
In Their Own Words…
The American Cancer Society Asian Initiatives (ACS-AI) aims to remove barriers to health care and increase the breast cancer screening rate among Chinese American women in Northern New Jersey. Free mammograms are arranged for uninsured and underinsured Chinese women, provide guidance and support to those with abnormal mammogram findings, and offer free transportation for patients to screening and treatment sites if needed. Bilingual certified medical interpreters will also be available to navigate poor-English speaking patients through the health system and help them communicate with health care providers. In addition, ACS-AI makes every effort to educate the importance of early screening in the Chinese community through educational workshops, radio broadcasts, and bilingual (Chinese) breast cancer educational materials. By spreading awareness and removing barriers to health care, we will reduce the incidence of breast cancer among Chinese American women.
