Abstract
University collaboration with a federally qualified health center resulted in adaptation and implementation of an evidenced- based intervention promoting preventive care, including cancer screening. Here, we focus on strategic planning, formative research, staff commitment, patient perceptions, data refinements, and organizational investments; successes, lessons learned, and challenges are also discussed.
