Welcome back to What the Health? In this episode, we highlight CCAP Across The Map's domestic initiative to expand access to preventive care, Paps for POC.
Our research shows that People of Color (POC) in the United States are more likely to be uninsured, have higher incidence of cervical cancer, and have a higher mortality rate than white populations. CCAP Across The Map has partnered with the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) at the Mayo Clinic Arizona and St. Vincent DePaul Clinic to address these disparities in the Phoenix, Arizona area. We are actively recruiting POC to receive free Pap smears, an important preventative measure against cervical cancer, and inviting them to participate in a survey to gather further information on how to better help underserved populations.
In this episode of What the Health? we speak with CCAP Across The Map co-founders, Jillian Leaver and Hunter Ackerley about how this project began, their passion for eliminating health disparities, and the most rewarding aspects of this initiative. Tune in!
