Outreach Programs
Breast & Cervical Cancer: The Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) offers “no cost” breast cancer screenings, mammograms, and cervical screenings to uninsured/underinsured women ages 50-64 who have incomes at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. In addition, eligible women under the age of 50 who are symptomatic may receive services. Women having an abnormal breast or cervical screening result are referred for case management and additional evaluation. The program is designed as a screening program and does not provide funds for treatment; however, it is the single portal of entry to the Breast and Cervical Cancer Medicaid in North Carolina. Rural Health Group annually provides “no cost” breast and cervical screening services to over 120 eligible women.
H.O.P.E (Health Outreach to Promote Equity): The goal of the H.O.P.E Program is to increase knowledge, empower individuals through outreach and linkage to resources, and promote social justice and health equity. This program includes services to assist with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicare and Health Education.
Migrant Seasonal Farmworker Program (MSFW): The goal of MSFW is to help improve the health of migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families.
Ryan White: The primary goal of the Ryan White program is to provide primary medical care services to uninsured and underinsured persons living with HIV/AIDS. Peer education including “prevention for positives” and case management, such as financial assistance for housing or food are supported through our program. Infectious Diseases departments are located in our Rural Health Group offices at HRMC and Jackson Medical buildings. We also partner with Carolina Family Health Centers: Harvest Family Health Center in Elm City NC, Freedom Hill Community Health Center in Tarboro NC and Wilson Community Health Center in Wilson NC.
