About The CanDO Project

The goal of The GCAP's community-based navigation project, The CanDO! Project focuses on identifying and eliminating psycho-social barriers to allow ALL people affected by cancer to focus on their medical treatment, leading to improved health outcomes and an overall reduction in cancer-related distress. 

Program services are available free of charge to all people affected by any cancer.

What does the CanDO! Project do?

*Offers your patients/clients the opportunity to identify areas and levels of distress utilizing the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's (NCCN)  Distress Thermometer.

*Provides immediate community-based patient navigation services at the time of intake, or follow-up within one day

*Offers connections to appropriate and available community resources to help  patients deal with non-medical issues which a cancer diagnosis can  impact

*Provides follow-up in three months from date of intake to assess levels of distress and identify any new issues

*Provides quarterly educational workshops on survivorship issues such as nutrition, journaling, sexual problems, and more.

Non-medical needs the CanDO! Project can address:

*Peer emotional support/practical support

*Resources for financial assistance

*Transportation issues

*Food and housing insecurity
