Sinai Chicago received a new grant from Gilead Sciences, Inc. to fund expansion of its Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI) community health worker (CHW) breast health navigation program. The grant, funded through Gilead’s Frontlines of Communities in the United States (FOCUS) Breast Cancer Pilot Program will develop and pilot a replicable program that embodies best practices in breast cancer screening and linkage to care. SUHI has over 20 years of experience and expertise in community-engaged research and demonstrated effectiveness with the CHW model. The pilot aims to address challenges in screening and linkage to care negatively impacting Sinai patients, and improve the likelihood that patients receive a recommended breast cancer screening or diagnostic exam. The pilot will create a CHW-centered education and navigation model to be implemented across both Sinai campuses, embedding four CHWs within Sinai’s Mammography departments to engage with patients, provide emotional support, screen for social needs and link to resources, assist patients with navigating the health and social care systems, provide disease management education, and improve communication and workflows.
