The Jane Bancroft Robinson Foundation has launched the Sustainable Financing for Cancer Navigation (SFN) initiative.
This demonstration project, rooted in equity and community trust, aims to transform cancer care for Black women in D.C.’s Wards 7 and 8.
In partnership with Whitman-Walker Health and others, SFN will co-design a sustainable, community-based patient navigation model.
The initiative directly addresses stark disparities in cancer outcomes, where Black women face the highest mortality rates in the city.
SFN is more than a program—it’s a promise to build systems that work for Black women and can be scaled across the District.
