Disparities, Access to Care and Early Detection
Goal
To promote access to quality cancer care in California including primary prevention, early detection and optimal treatment and patient/family rehabilitation and support for all.Strategies
- To provide as needed continuing assistance and support to the six new community access to cancer care programs (Los Angeles, Orange, Fresno, Solano, San Bernardino/Riverside and Santa Cruz).
- To provide new avenues for program applications to the current community programs in San Diego, Sacramento, Kern, Ventura and Oakland. This could include direct programming on colorectal, ovarian, skin or other key site programs that are a part of the CDOC and the Cancer Plan priorities. This will require coordinated efforts among the teams.
- To develop new communication pathways and linkages with all of the 11 ongoing community access to cancer care programs.
- To extend RFP’s to other communities in the state to establish access to cancer care programs.
- To develop and further refine the support network for access to cancer care by
1) enabling the community programs themselves to spread and help to improve access to quality cancer care throughout the state 2) defining and measuring shared measurable outcomes for the community programs that will help achieve our goal and 3) seeking and obtaining larger external funding support for this network.
