Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
The Haitian American Association Against Cancer, Inc. (HAAAC) is a grass-roots not-for-profit community-based organization whose mission is to provide outreach and education programs for prevention and early detection of cancer to the public and in the Haitian-American community. |

|
Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
By providing outreach and eduation programs for prevention and early detection of cancer to the public, particularly, Haitians and Haitian-Americans who are uninsured and/or not being served. The medical cost to these indigents will be greatly reduced. Prevention is usually the best medicine. Thus the State of Florid will benefit greatly with this concept of prevention instead of having to pick up the hospital tabs for these uninsured/underserved indigent individuals. |

|
|
|
|
|
Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
The dissemination of cancer information to the common mass, be it in their native tongue Creole, to dispel myths and taboos regarding this issue will alleviate unnecessary sufferings in many low income families. HAAAC will structure a statistical system to monitor and document its cases relating to the effectiveness of its services. |
