The Partnership carries out a number of
functions on a daily or otherwise on-going basis as part of our
efforts in breast and cervical cancer early detection and healthy
lifestyle education. We:
- Facilitate breast and cervical cancer screening
- Recruit, train, and support providers
to participate in breast and cervical health service delivery networks.
- Develop and implement mechanisms to
assist providers in start-up, and provide ongoing technical
assistance in developing patient tracking and follow-up
systems.
- Provide and/or coordinate the
provision of professional education on breast and cervical
cancer screening and related subjects.
- Assist patients and providers to find
appropriate treatment services.
- Address gaps in the delivery of breast
and cervical services.
- Coordinate linkages with
community-based organizations, business and civic leaders,
elected officials, health care providers, and others.
- Facilitate relationships between
health care providers and other entities, which can assist
women in obtaining services such as transportation,
childcare, language translation, and other social support
services.
- Conduct local targeted outreach and
education to low-income, high-risk women in breast and
cervical health and healthy lifestyle.
