Spread the Word, based at Public Health Solutions' MIC-Women's Health Services Center in Astoria, Queens, was designed specifically to address and overcome a variety of barriers that South Asian immigrant women face in receiving breast health information and care. Since its inception, the project has actively collaborated with more than 59 organizations serving South Asian communities to provide linguistically and culturally appropriate health education and services to promote early detection of breast cancer.
