About This Grant:
Greater Portland Health aims to increase breast, cervical, and lung cancer screenings in Maine through this project. The target population includes patients experiencing homelessness, people of color, and the under- or uninsured eligible for these screenings. A community health worker will enhance screening rates by promoting healthcare accessibility through culturally, linguistically, and situationally sensitive outreach, education, transportation assistance, and care connections.
