Community Outreach and Prevention

Three models of navigation—academic, community based, and lay—were discussed by Ms Sellers.

Many underserved women in Philadelphia receive healthcare at 1 of 11 FQHC Community Health Centers (CHCs).

Women with disabilities (WWD) have the same biological risk of developing breast cancer as nondisabled women but are less likely to participate in regular cancer screening.

The Prostate Risk Assessment Program (PRAP) at Fox Chase Cancer Center is a longitudinal screening and research program that provides screening and risk-reducing options to men at high risk for prostate cancer (PCa).

As we begin to welcome spring, we are also welcoming the opportunity to conduct more health fairs and other community outreach events to raise cancer awareness.

Many any young women, ages 18 to 22, are away from their parents, living on college campuses and exposed to lifestyle behaviors that can increase their risk of getting breast cancer.
