About this listen

In the late 20th century, Dr. Harold P. Freeman made a game-changing discovery—patients weren’t just dying of cancer; they were dying because they couldn’t access timely care. From the halls of Harlem Hospital, he pioneered patient navigation, a revolutionary approach that broke down barriers to diagnosis and treatment, transforming cancer care forever.

What started as a small program has grown into a national movement, especially in breast health, where navigators guide patients through the complex world of imaging, biopsies, and treatment. But challenges remain—disparities persist, access isn’t equal, and the fight for health equity continues.

Join us in this episode of BINA Voices, as we explore the past, present, and future of patient navigation in breast imaging, hearing from the experts and the patients whose lives have been forever changed.
