In 1989, the @americancancersociety (ACS) convened a series of fact-finding hearings to determine the magnitude of unmet cancer prevention and control needs among the disadvantaged. Their resulting “Report to the Nation” uncovered a number of critical issues related to cancer and the poor, including the extraordinary personal sacrifices poor people and their families must make to obtain and pay for care. The report further found that poor people faced substantial obstacles in obtaining and using health insurance and often did not seek care if they could not pay for it.
The report’s authors issued a challenge to establish patient advocate and referral services to help poor patients navigate the health system and manage personal problems that result from cancer treatment. Thus, the concept of patient navigation was borne. The first patient navigation program started the next year at the Harlem Hospital Center, led by Dr. Harold P. Freeman, ACS’s president at the time. The program served as the model for the Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease Prevention Act of 2005.
