Dana-Farber and Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center to connect patients to cancer services
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center (HSNHC) in Dorchester, MA, have entered into an agreement to connect patients to cancer prevention, education, diagnosis, and treatment services.
This program, based out of Dana-Farber’s Cancer Care Equity Program, will help address persistent health care disparities faced in local communities. The practice of embedding a medical oncology practice in the community has shown early positive results with shortened wait times for care.
The clinic will initially be held bi-weekly and could be expanded based on demand. It will be led by Christopher Lathan, MD, Ludmila Svoboda, RN, and Laura Garber, PA. Svoboda will also serve as a nurse navigator, helping reduce language, cultural and other barriers for patients so they can receive needed care.
