Funding Priorities

 

Community Profile Report Priorities

Priority I: Increase capacity of breast cancer resources for those uninsured, underinsured and underserved, both through building capacity and by making information about resources more accessible.

Goal: To support local community partners and resources to help build capacity of programs and services which address the screening and treatment needs of the uninsured and underserved.

Example: Programs that provide screenings, diagnostic mammograms and access to transportation for appointments and treatment.

 Programs that provide financial assistance, emergency funds, patient navigation, childcare, wigs and prostheses, as well as resource guides.

 
Priority II:  Increase the education of women regarding the importance of mammography and breast self-awareness.

Goal:  Partner with community-based outreach/health organizations to effectively promote awareness of breath health.

Example: Education and outreach programs that educate women about breast self awareness together with getting regular mammograms.
