Health Program Coordinator I (JR-0001184)

Overview

Responsibilities

The Bureau of Cancer Prevention and Control oversees the State’s Cancer Services Program (CSP), a set of statewide community-based contractors that offer access to cancer screening, diagnostic, and treatment services to uninsured and underinsured New Yorkers who are less likely to receive screenings and who experience cancer disparities due to factors such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, geography and social determinants of health. The CSP increases the number of individuals who receive timely screenings and potentially catches cancer early when it is more treatable.
