"The Chinese Guide to Breast Cancer Resources" is the first breast cancer resource guide available in Chinese for monolingual and/or limited English-speaking people with cancer. The guide includes listing of medical facilities, public and community clinics, support groups, community services and programs, and instructions for breast self-exam.
The Cancer Patient Advocate and Visitation Program has recently trained Chinese-speaking volunteers--most of whom are cancer survivors--to provide one-to-one telephone calls and/or home visits for Chinese-speaking men and women with cancer. The program can refer a Chinese-speaking patient to a volunteer and is also seeking volunteers.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Chinatown Public Health Center website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
