REACH 2010 NEWSLETTER
REACH 2010
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health by the year 2010 (REACH 2010) is a project of the Alabama Partnership for Cancer Control in Underserved Populations supported by funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the UAB Division of Preventive Medicine.
Mission
The mission of REACH 2010 to bring together diverse, passionate, committed individuals to empower the community to achieve our vision, which is to eliminate the breast and cervical cancer morbidity and mortality gap between White and African American women in Alabama.
Project Description
The Alabama REACH 2010 Phase II project is conducted by an established coalition of dedicated partners that includes the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) serving as the Central Coordinating Organization (CCO) along with community-based, religious, grassroots, and healthcare organizations serving the target population. The goal of this project is to eliminate the breast and cervical cancer morbidity and mortality gap between White and African-American women. With the help of an established coalition and a trained core working group that consists of the community health advisors, church representatives, and health care professionals, the projects aims to (1) build community capacity by training community volunteers to serve as community health advisors, (2) promote breast and cervical cancer screening, and (3) increase breast and cervical cancer awareness and control among community leaders and policy makers.
