The Nurse Oncology Education Program (NOEP)

The Nurse Oncology Education Program (NOEP) is a nonprofit project of the Texas Nurses Foundation funded by the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), providing cancer education for nurses in all fields of practice.

In Texas alone, it is estimated that over 97,000 people will be diagnosed yearly with cancer (American Cancer Society, 2008). And we know that racial/ethnic minorities and the financially disadvantaged are diagnosed with cancer later and have a shorter and lower survival rate than non-minorities.

Working with Hispanic Indigenous Migrant Men from Mexico and Guatemala to Promote Immunization

The Immunization Initiative at MCN promotes improving childhood, adolescent, and adult immunization coverage levels among migrant and other mobile underserved populations. During the course of the initiative, anecdotal and documented evidence of an increase in the Hispanic indigenous population in United States and outside California surfaced from various sources. A separate initiative emerged, to design and develop a piece of educational material specifically for this population. This article, published in Streamline (March-April, 2009) discusses this initiative.
