Sinai Chicago announced it has received a $250,000 grant award from Aetna Better Health of Illinois, a CVS Health company, to provide breast, cervical and colorectal cancer outreach, education, and navigation services for up to 4,000 African-American and Latina women living on Chicago’s west and southwest sides. Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI), Sinai Chicago’s community-based health research entity, offers a breast health outreach, education and navigation program called Helping Her Live. The program employs community health workers to assist African-American and Latina women living in resource poor communities to get mammograms and referrals to follow-up care and services. The grant from Aetna enables an expansion of the Helping Her Live model, which has been successful in increasing breast cancer awareness and connecting women to free or affordable mammogram services, to include cervical and colorectal cancer education and navigation. Since 2007, Helping Her Live has educated over 15,000 women about breast health and the importance of getting annual mammograms and navigated women to over 4,300 mammograms. Using evidence-based intervention, it is one of the first projects in the nation pursuing community outreach and navigation for improved breast health. Helping Her Live services are available free of charge. To learn more, call 877-437-5432 or email at HelpingHerLive@sinai.org.
