锘?
00:00:03,044 --> 00:00:04,462
This has a little tube for you

2
00:00:04,462 --> 00:00:06,047
to collect your stool sample with.

3
00:00:09,884 --> 00:00:13,054
As a patient navigator within Eastern Iowa Health Center,

4
00:00:13,054 --> 00:00:14,889
I work to help bring awareness

5
00:00:14,889 --> 00:00:16,599
about colorectal cancer,

6
00:00:16,599 --> 00:00:19,519
and the importance of screening throughout our community.

7
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:20,770
We're asking patients

8
00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:23,148
to bring something into the office

9
00:00:23,148 --> 00:00:24,774
 that just kind of seems

10
00:00:24,774 --> 00:00:26,443
"I don't know if I really want to do that"

11
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:28,319
or take the time off of work.

12
00:00:28,319 --> 00:00:31,239
Sometimes our patients can't actually get to the

13
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,034
bus stop due to mobility reasons.

14
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:35,785
They don't always understand the

15
00:00:35,785 --> 00:00:38,496
 routes due to literacy reasons.

16
00:00:38,496 --> 00:00:39,914
Sometimes the cost is something

17
00:00:39,914 --> 00:00:42,667
that not every patient can always afford.

18
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:46,212
So NTS stands for Neighborhood Transportation Service.

19
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:48,631
NTS began as a program

20
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:49,716
 that was designed to help

21
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:51,634
people access transportation.

22
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:53,219
That program has expanded from

23
00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:55,597
what was in one small community

24
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:57,974
with one van to a fleet of vehicles

25
00:00:57,974 --> 00:00:59,517
servicing the entire metro area,

26
00:00:59,517 --> 00:01:00,852
here in Cedar Rapids.

27
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:07,942
Horizons and NTS has provided

28
00:01:07,942 --> 00:01:08,985
Eastern Iowa Health Center with

29
00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:10,528
free transportation services to our

30
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:12,947
current immigrant and refugee populations.

31
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:14,783
We're making every effort to provide assistance to remove barriers

32
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:16,785
assistance to remove barriers,

33
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:19,204
if that's a cultural barrier, a sensitivity barrier

34
00:01:19,204 --> 00:01:20,830
that we may not be familiar with.

35
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:23,083
So in terms of the Afghani refugees,

36
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,918
we've been working to accommodate

37
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:27,337
the need for a chaperon for

38
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:28,755
women who are riding,

39
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:31,257
or the need for female drivers.

40
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,843
One of the areas that we're still hoping to get

41
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:37,514
improved services for is our unhoused population.

42
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,557
Currently, that population doesn't

43
00:01:39,557 --> 00:01:41,684
always have that great family support

44
00:01:41,684 --> 00:01:43,686
to follow up with the procedures.

45
00:01:43,686 --> 00:01:45,855
So we have been trying to discuss

46
00:01:45,855 --> 00:01:46,856
and come up with various

47
00:01:46,856 --> 00:01:49,859
different ways to help overcome that barrier.

48
00:01:49,859 --> 00:01:53,863
Our partnership with the CDC has been phenomenal.

49
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:55,990
The CDC has been really helpful

50
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:59,285
in providing pre-cancer screenings for colorectal cancer.

51
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:02,247
The way that is working is really kind of amazing.

52
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:03,706
The CDC has provided money

53
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:05,667
to Iowa Department of Public Health,

54
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:06,960
and from there, it's come to

55
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,919
Eastern Iowa Health Center.

56
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:10,213
Removing barriers to improve

57
00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:12,465
health equity is incredibly important

58
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,676
because it's important for a community.
