Every Woman Matters

The Every Woman Matters program has effectively increased mammogram screening rates among African American women, who face higher incidence and mortality rates from breast cancer. Despite lower initial screening rates compared to white and Hispanic women, enrollment in the program has led to early diagnosis for many. With over 90% of African American women living in Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy Counties, implementing patient navigation and case management strategies can significantly impact screening outcomes. Community resources and targeted campaigns have proven effective in outreach and enrollment.
