Subaward Project
YWCA Central Massachusetts Breast and Cervical Health
This project expands on one funded through an NNLM grant (2021-2022) that provided education, outreach, and referral to cancer screenings to women of color at risk for a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis. The YWCA worked with religious and other culturally specific organizations to reach more of the target audience and provide health information. Now, the YWCA seeks to add to its target audience by reaching out to seniors at senior-serving organizations. The program will continue to distribute information from NNLM sources and to refer individuals to Family Health Center for cancer screenings.
