Promise Fund of Florida is making a dent in the equality gap of preventive care by getting more women of color screened for cervical and breast cancers. Its model uses patient navigators to help underserved women overcome social determinants of health obstacles like lack of transportation, language barriers, cultural and educational hurdles, and financial challenges. Meet the patient navigators who are changing the lives of these Florida women, helping detect diseases early, facilitating treatment choices, and building greater trust in the healthcare system. Hologic is proud to be a part of the Promise Fund ecosystem, providing grants and technology vital to the mission. Visit https://www.hologic.com/project-health-equality for more information.
