Introduction 项目介绍
The Chinatown Patient Navigation Program provides free patient navigation services to help Chicago Chinatown community members with cancer care and screening.
The program is part of a research study conducted by healthcare providers, social service providers, and health researchers at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, the Chinese American Service League, and Northwestern University.
Beginning in the fall of 2020, the Chinatown Patient Navigation Program will be available to the Chinatown community to participate in the research study.
Some examples of free patient navigation services available to research participants may include:
- Appointment scheduling
- Lung, breast, cervical, prostate, colon, and other cancer screenings
- Language interpretation support during health visits to facilitate communication with healthcare teams
- Referrals to social services (i.e. social workers, support groups, nutrition programs, survivorship clinics, etc.)
- Elimination of cultural, transportation, financial, or insurance-related barriers to accessing care
- Educational workshops and outreach programming
