Breast and cervical cancer continue to cause preventable deaths in Bexar County, with screening rates consistently below state averages—particularly among Hispanic and Black women. Just 67% of women aged 50–74 in Bexar County have received a recent mammogram (compared to 73% statewide), and only 71% of women aged 21–65 have had a Pap smear in the past three years.
Black and Hispanic women report even lower screening rates and face the greatest burden from delayed diagnosis. Statewide, Hispanic women have the highest incidence of cervical cancer (12. 0 per 100,000), while Black women have the highest mortality rate (3.
5 per 100,000) (“Cervical Cancer in Texas,” 2024). These differences are compounded by uninsurance, limited access to primary care, low health literacy, and the geographic isolation of many residents in Bexar County’s seven designated Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs).
Project Overview: From Doorstep to Diagnosis proposes a coordinated, multi-component intervention to expand breast and cervical cancer screening among underserved women in Bexar County. The program uniquely integrates door-to-door navigation by Community Health Workers (CHWs) with mobile clinical services, ensuring clients receive not only education but also direct linkage to care.
Unlike typical walk-up screening models, this approach establishes lasting connections to primary care and ensures follow-up for abnormal results. Central to this strategy is a formal partnership with WestCare Texas, a trusted community organization with longstanding roots in San Antonio’s East Side.
WestCare will serve as a contracted partner to expand reach in Black communities through culturally specific outreach, co-hosted events, and neighborhood-based client navigation. Their involvement is integral to achieving equitable geographic and demographic coverage, strengthening the program’s ability to reduce burden across priority populations.
Strategy and Activities: YWCA San Antonio will coordinate mobile screenings at high-traffic community locations—including WestCare, the Mexican Consulate, and other partner sites—and deliver bilingual education through pláticas, health fairs, and individual sessions. CHWs will conduct pre-screening intake, assess for social and clinical needs using the PRAPARE tool, and ensure appropriate referrals.
Orders for mammography and HPV testing/Pap smears will be generated through newly established partnerships with local primary care providers, rather than relying on episodic or standalone services. Program goals include: Screening Delivery: Provide 2,700 breast and cervical screenings over three years through mobile services and targeted outreach.
Abnormal Result Follow-Up: Offer comprehensive navigation to 100% of individuals with abnormal results, with direct support to access diagnostic and treatment services. Workforce Development: Train and certify 100 CHWs with specialized instruction in cancer prevention navigation, cultural competency, and client engagement.
Significance and Impact: This project addresses persistent low screening rates through a data-informed, relationship-driven model that connects historically underserved women to screening and care. The inclusion of WestCare Texas as a strategic partner elevates the program’s reach and relevance, particularly in Black neighborhoods where trust, representation, and targeted engagement are essential.
By combining mobile services with trained navigators and integrated care coordination, this program goes beyond traditional outreach to provide a sustainable framework for preventive care. The model is replicable across urban MUAs and aligned with CPRIT’s priorities for expanding evidence-based services, strengthening follow-up pathways, and supporting regional cancer prevention infrastructure.
If successful, this initiative will demonstrate how trusted partnerships and coordinated service delivery can reduce the cancer burden and improve outcomes for Texas’s most underserved women.
