Her study is entitlted "Strengthening Bridges: A Navigation Plan for survivors of breast and gynecological cancers in the Georgia Cancer Center for Excellence (GCCE) at Grady Health System." For details, click here.
With the GCC funding, she hopes to implement a Survivorship Patient Navigation Plan (SPNP) that incorporates Journey Forward materials and pilot it with GCCE breast and gynecological cancer survivors.
Cancer Research Awards are made possible through voluntary donations to the Georgia Cancer Research Fund on State Income Tax forms.
