  • ACCESS TO CARE PROGRAMS (THE PATSER FUND AND THE SCREENING AND NAVIGATION PROGRAM) PROVIDES ACCESS TO FREE SCREENING AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER, EDUCATION AND AWARENESS. THIS PROGRAM SERVES AS A SAFETY NET FOR LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY-UNDERSERVED AND UNDER-RESOURCED WOMEN AND MEN IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNABLE TO ACCESS CARE. THE GABRIELLA PATSER FUND CONTRACTS WITH LOCAL MEDICAL FACILITIES AND MEDICAL OFFICES TO SERVE WOMEN UNDER 40 AND MEN OF ANY AGE WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE STATE'S EARLY DETECTION PROGRAM. CLIENTS SERVED BY THE PROGRAM ARE LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED. THE PROGRAM PAYS FOR MEDICAL SERVICES SUCH AS MAMMOGRAMS, ULTRASOUNDS, BIOPSIES, AND BREAST MRIS AT REDUCED NEGOTIATED RATES. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES HEALTH EDUCATION AND INFORMATION, NAVIGATION THROUGH THE HEALTH SYSTEM, INTERPRETING SERVICES, AND TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE. THE SCREENING AND NAVIGATION PROGRAM (SNP) IS DESIGNED TO OFFER A CULTURALLY SENSITIVE, PROACTIVE APPROACH FOR THE RISK-REDUCTION AND EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER. THE SNP PROGRAM IS A MULTI-FACETED, COMPREHENSIVE OUTREACH AND PATIENT NAVIGATION EFFORT THAT ADDRESSES NOT ONLY THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE CLIENTS, BUT ALSO THE EMOTIONAL NEEDS, AND EMPOWERS CLIENTS TO MANAGE THEIR HEALTH IN THE FUTURE. THE BI-LINGUAL AND BI-CULTURAL CLIENT CARE NAVIGATOR DEVELOPS A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH CLIENT, BEGINNING WITH THE PERSONAL CONTACT WHEN THE CLIENT IS INITIALLY APPROVED FOR SERVICES AND CONTINUING THROUGH ALL STAGES OF THE PROCESS. CRITICAL TO THE PROGRAM'S SUCCESS IS REMOVING BARRIERS TO RECEIVING CARE, WHICH INCLUDES TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE THAT PROVIDES LANGUAGE SPECIFIC SUPPORT (PRACTICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND INFORMATIONAL) NECESSARY TO HELP CLIENTS WHO SPEAK LITTLE OR NO ENGLISH. MANY OF THE CLIENTS THAT UTILIZE THE PROGRAM ARE MONO-LINGUAL SPANISH SPEAKERS. SUPPORT PROGRAMS - BACC PROVIDES EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE CANCER TREATMENT JOURNEY. BACC PROGRAMS AND SERVICES CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THESE MAIN, BUT CERTAINLY NOT DISTINCT AREAS: MEDICAL INFORMATION, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND PRACTICAL RESOURCES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
