Patient support programs provide navigation for financial and emotional services for cancer patients to help reduce distress during treatment. Licensed oncology social workers evaluate newly diagnosed cancer patients and patient transportation and financial assistance programs ease some of the burdens to cancer patients in Northwest Arkansas. Financial assistance programs help patients currently in treatment who are uninsured or underinsured and have a financial need with no restriction on age, gender, race or cancer diagnosis.

Ozark Health Foundation In an effort to continue to reduce the incidence of tobacco use in rural Van Buren and Searcy Counties and to ultimately eliminate health disparities related to tobacco use, Ozark Mountain Health Network will continue to work towards “Communities In Action,” a community-based approach to the prevention of tobacco use and access to proven cancer control strategies. All goals coincide with the Arkansas Cancer Plan and include: building and maintaining a coalition of diverse partners working toward tobacco control and prevention, decreasing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke, and promoting environmental change through local healthcare organizations through employee cessation. Program activities will be implemented through local worksites, schools, policy makers, and coalitions.

St. Bernards Development Foundation Through I CAN, St. Bernards will provide to breast cancer patients the services of a dedicated breast cancer navigator as part of a multidisciplinary team to improve outcomes.

Funding will be used to: 1) provide professional development training to an additional 250 middle school teachers at various locations statewide; 2) provide a resource kit; 3) evaluate the training event using evaluation tools developed with ACC and previous NIH evaluators that monitor quantitative and qualitative measures; 4) conduct long term evaluation; 5) initiate the construction of interactive, computer based, learning modules for student use; and 6) construct a final report of all project activities.

UAMS Colleges of Nursing, Health Related Professions, and Medicine Tobacco Cessation in a Thoracic Oncology Clinic This program will implement a novel, systematic, evidence- based tobacco dependence treatment program tailored for patients receiving care at a thoracic surgery oncology clinic at the Winthrop P.
