New York City’s approximately one million Asians face unique challenges with respect to cancer prevention and treatment. For example, only 68% of Asian women have had a Pap smear within the last three years; whereas the city average is 80% and the national average is 90%. Asian women are also the least likely racial/ethnic group to have had a mammogram in the past two years (74%). Only 51% of Asians over the age of 50 have been screened for colorectal cancer, despite that fact that this cancer, if detected early, has a 95% cure rate. Language, poverty, lack of insurance and culture are significant factors affecting the ability to access preventive and cancer care services. For example, more than 50% of the Asian population is foreign-born, and 32% have household incomes of less than $25,000. Moreover, while 80% have been in the U.S. for more than five years, a large proportion of New York City’s Asian population have “limited” or “very limited” English proficiency and lack health insurance coverage. Each year, Asian Initiatives delivers immeasurable impact and great value to the Community by promoting prevention and early detection, offering free screenings for underinsured individuals, providing support and guidance to cancer patients and their families and helping to improve these patients’ quality of life during their cancer journey. We hope to save lives and create more birthdays by prolonging the lives of patients, both physically and spiritually and to galvanize the Asian community in embracing our important mission.
