Breast Cancer Patient Navigation & Support Project
Breast Cancer Patient Navigation & Support Project
April 1, 2011 – March 31, 2012
The Patient Navigation and Support Project is operated through the California Health Collaborative, with funding from Susan G. Komen for the Cure Sacramento Valley Affiliate. Participation in the project is available to uninsured, low-income diagnosed breast cancer patients and to uninsured, low-income symptomatic individuals not eligible for CDP: EWC in the 14-county Sacramento Valley Affiliate services area. The Patient Navigation and Support Project provides practical support and financial assistance to ensure early detection of breast cancer, access to care, and treatment compliance.
Services are provided via a toll-free telephone line ~ 1-888-921-7465. An English-Spanish bilingual Care Coordinator provides Project participants with emotional support, linkages to and coordination with a variety of financial and supportive services, guidance in securing coverage for treatment, and educational materials. The Project provides financial resources to help pay for breast cancer screening and diagnostic procedures for uninsured, low-income symptomatic individuals. Project funding assists diagnosed participants with mileage reimbursement to breast health medical appointments, home/personal health support needs, such as utility payments and grocery store food vouchers, and other ancillary services. Project financial assistance will continue until fully expended or March 31, 2012, whichever occur first.
