OUR WORK
Walking alongside you as you navigate breast healthcare.
At Gateway to Hope, women receive 1:1 support through every step of the breast health journey. From life-saving cancer screenings to treatment and beyond, we ensure women have the support and information they need to thrive.
Personalized support every step of the way.
From the beginning, Gateway to Hope has sought to reduce fear and increase hope felt by patients during their unique breast health journeys. Because cancer doesn’t discriminate and we believe everyone deserves access to life-changing care.
That’s why the approach we take is not about breast cancer, it’s about people. We know everyone’s journey is unique. That’s why we offer custom, 1-on-1 support across the entirety of the breast health continuum.
1. Pre-Screening
We’re increasing community demand for accessible and affordable preventative care through community education.
2. Screening
We provide comprehensive patient-centered navigation to screening and reduce the barriers to delayed screening.
3. Abnormal Findings
We ensure patients are navigated to essential diagnostic care. Only 30% of low-income women in Missouri pursue timely diagnostics.
4. Treatment
Our navigators are in the patient’s corner throughout care, providing essential social support, navigation, and financial assistance to increase treatment adherence.
5. Maintenance
We help patients access continued care through our screening navigation and expanding maintenance programming.
6. End-of-Life
Our specially-trained metastatic navigators help patients access critical palliative and hospice care, while supporting them and their families through grief.
Strength in every story.
Our patient navigation program is the simplest and most effective way to eliminate barriers to breast healthcare. From finding a screening to assisting those facing breast cancer, our program provides custom support across the breast health continuum.
