The Breast and GYN Health Project is a nonprofit organization based in Arcata, California, established in 1997 to support women and families facing breast or gynecologic cancer or related concerns along California’s north coast. It provides free services that include one-to-one support, support groups, a lending library, patient navigation, decision support, and medical visit consultation planning, with many volunteers and staff who are cancer survivors. Its work focuses on delivering information, education, and emotional and practical assistance to individuals dealing with cancer, aiming to help clients navigate the medical system while prioritizing their interests, as it operates independently of local hospitals or health systems. The organization serves a regional community, leveraging a community-based model to offer ongoing resources and peer-based support through its various programs.
