Chinatown Patient Navigation (PN) 2.0

The Chinatown Patient Navigation (PN) Program is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded research study that focuses on increasing cancer screening and enhancing cancer care for the residents of Chicago’s Greater Chinatown area. The program first launched in 2013 and navigated nearly 800 women for their breast and cervical cancer screenings. With this success and lessons learned, the program received a 5 year renewal from the NCI in 2020 to scale patient navigation in the Greater Chinatown area (“PN 2.0”). The PN 2.0 Program will implement strategies and tools to support coordination and integration of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) related efforts across community oncology and community social service settings. The PN 2.0 program will continue to tailor a culturally appropriate program for Chicago’s Chinatown community, while working toward health systems change to increase access to cancer screening, reduce time to diagnostic resolution, and reduce time to treatment initiation.
