Cancer is a major health issue in low-income areas with medically underserved populations in places with no or few health care facilities and clinicians. There are disproportionate distributions of cancer health challenges in the US based on ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic status. Consequently, these factors have influenced morbidity and mortality associated with cancer in different ways. Hence, one must observe cases of cancer, diagnosis stages, prognosis, and patient outcomes. At any given time, racial minorities, immigrants, and people within the lower socioeconomic levels fall within the medically underserved groups. Medically underserved groups believe that the health care system could be responsible for perpetuating health inequality. One could attribute effects of these disparities to several factors such as inhibition of cancer prevention, screening, detection, patient follow-ups, and subsequent treatment. Several factors have contributed to barriers that affect the community. Majorities are underinsured or insufficiently insured, lack of cancer awareness programs, transportation barriers due to remote location of the community, busy rural ER clinical services, rural residence without permanent health care facilities, and lack of contact or relationships with health care providers. Cancer affects African American disproportionately due to barriers responsible for inequality in health care provisions (Ferrante, Wu and Dicicco-Bloom, 2011). As a result, health care stakeholders have adopted various advocacy programs to improve provisions of health care services to medically underserved African Americans in rural locations. A summary of advocacy program on the issue Patient navigation (PN) has been a successful advocacy program for cancer patients. The program aims to lessen disparities in the provision of health care services by focusing on causes of disparities. It has focused on cancer prevention, screening and early detection, cancer treatment, and follow-up care among the medically underserved populations and locations. Past studies have established that patient navigation was effective in enhancing health care outcomes among cancer patients in medically underserved locations (Robinson-White, Conroy, Slavish and Rosenzweig, 2010). Attributes that made the program effective   * Improving communication among cancer patients, health care providers, policymakers, survivors, and other stakeholders, including family and community members   * Health care coordination   * Providing financial support   * Providing child care services and transportation   * Keeping and arranging for the required medical records   * Managing and facilitating treatments and follow-ups   * Community involvement and outreach programs   * Facilitating participation in clinical trials A plan for health advocacy campaign that seeks to create a new policy or change an existing policy Description The new policy will aim to improve the provision of health care services for cancer patients in medically underserved locations among African Americans. Specifically, the policy will focus on the majorities at high risks of cancer complications and poor health. The policy shall f
