Cultivando la Salud
 |
The Kentucky Cancer Program has implemented Cultivando la Salud, a science-based program developed by the National Center for Farmworker Health, Inc. and originally funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This breast and cervical cancer education program provides outreach services to Spanish-speaking women through bilingual community health educators called promotoras. Promotoras working in both urban and rural communities are providing education and screening referrals in the Falls, Lincoln Trail, and Green River Districts. Spanish language outreach activities include: Just Us Girls tea parties; educational presentations; patient navigation to screening; and community exhibits. KCP has received funding from Susan G. Komen For the Cure and the Kentucky Department for Public Health to fund these outreach services. |
