The Center for Immigrant Health has received a small conference grant from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for a conference at the end of May on overcoming access barriers for immigrant women and breast cancer care.

The Center for Immigrant Health, part of NYU's Division of General Internal Medicine, seeks to facilitate the delivery of linguistically, culturally, and epidemiologically sensitive healthcare services to newcomer populations. The Center strives for the elimination of ethnic and racial disparities in healthcare.

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was launched in 1982 and has become the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
