Roswell Park Indigenous Cancer Screening/Navigation Success Reaches New Mexico with BMS Foundation Grant
BUFFALO, N.Y. and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A new collaboration will see Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center partnering with the University of New Mexico (UNM), supported by a grant from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, to address health disparities for the Pueblo Nations of New Mexico.
A three-year, $689,000 grant recently awarded by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, an independent charitable organization (BMS Foundation), will empower Roswell Park’s Department of Indigenous Cancer Health and UNM’s Native American Budget and Policy Institute to collaboratively translate the success of Roswell Park’s patient navigation services for Indigenous communities in Western New York to a program that will serve the unique needs of people of the Pueblo Nations.
