What is the Witness Project®?
A brief history
The Witness Project® is a culturally competent, community-based breast and cervical outreach, education and navigation program through which cancer survivors and lay health advisors increase awareness, knowledge, screening, and early detection behaviors in the African-American population in an effort to reduce the mortality and morbidity from cancer.
Our goal is to reach the under-served, never served communities to empower community members on cancer prevention as well as direct, connect and refer to affordable preventative care services and wellness resources.
Where we are today
Since our inception, we have expanded to include culturally competent outreach, education and navigation not only in breast and cervical cancer but to a myriad of preventative care and wellness resources available in the community such as:
COVID-19 Testing
Primary Care
OB/GYN Care
Insurance Enrollment
Voter Registration
Completing the Census
Transportation
Housing Resources
Food Pantries/Resources
