Please join us
for a reception to learn more about the
Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force
and its crucial work in saving women's lives. This event will focus on our bilingual navigation
program and our work with uninsured and underinsured Latinas in Chicago.
The Task Force’s mission is to save women’s lives by eliminating health disparities in Illinois through the lens of breast cancer. We address women’s health holistically, with a goal of eliminating inequities in prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship for all women. Our programs address systemic barriers to care through outreach, education, patient navigation, advocacy/public policy, and quality improvement and research.
Part of our effort to eliminate health inequities includes a bilingual navigation program that helps uninsured, underinsured, and medically underserved Spanish-speaking women access important screening and treatment services. Utilizing funds raised at this event last year, the Task Force has educated over 650 Latina women about breast cancer, the benefits of early detection and breast cancer disparities, participated in 11 community outreach events, provided navigation support to 258 Latinas with 178 completing screening mammograms and offered bilingual services at the annual Beyond October community outreach event.
