Cultivando la Salud Breast and Cervical Cancer Program

Cultivando la Salud is a new breast and cervical cancer education and outreach program specifically targeting Hispanic women. The program uses Promotoras de Salud, or lay health workers, to educate Hispanic women in the community about the importance of breast and cervical cancer screening, the availability of low cost screening services and assist them in navigating the health care system. The program was originally developed by the National Center for Farmworker Health, Inc. through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is sponsored in Kentucky by the Kentucky Cancer Program at the University of Louisville.
