Prevention & Improvement
DRH Health has been awarded a Health Resources and Services Administration grant to develop processes to aid in the prevention and improvement of cancer care and outcomes, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in our communities.
DRH Health, working with Pathways to a Healthier You, Cancer Centers of Southwest Oklahoma, Wichita Mountain Prevention Network, and the Stephens and Jefferson County Health Departments, received $299,626 annually for four years. The program aims to create a care coordination network to increase access to preventive education, cancer screenings, early diagnoses, and care coordination for Cotton, Jefferson, and Stephens Counties citizens.
“Over the term of the four-year award, our program will improve access to cancer services in these counties,” said Grant Project Director Cyndi Crook. “Besides the coordination of care, a concentrative effort will be made to provide education regarding the top cancers affecting our communities and the preventive screenings available to provide earlier detection, thus allowing for better outcomes.”
DRH Health is one of only ten organizations in the United States that received funding through the HRSA for Rural Health Care Coordination.
