Early Detection of Breast & Cervical Cancer - Minnesota Department of Health
Consistent
with its mission to address racial/ethnic health disparities in Minnesota, the Minnesota
Department of Health – Office of Minority and Multicultural Health manages the
Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative (EHDI) grants. EHDI has funded more
than 50 community-based organizations and tribal nations since 2002.
Six
community-based organizations have been working with American Indians, African
African/Americans, Asians, and Latinos to address breast and cervical cancer
screening and health care access issues. These organizations are:
- Bois Forte
Reservation
- Carondelet
LifeCare Ministries
- Centra
Campesino
- Indian
Board of Minneapolis
- Minnesota International Health Volunteers and
- Vietnamese
Social Services of Minnesota
Each of these
organizations utilizes its own cultural strengths to design programs promoting
breast and cervical cancer screening and to provide culturally and
linguistically appropriate services for women who are uninsured, underinsured
and are otherwise hard to reach.
