Nueva Vida is focused on providing high-quality, evidence-based approaches that support Latino families during one of their most traumatic experiences, cancer diagnosis. The mission is to inform, support, and empower Latinas whose lives are affected by cancer, and to advocate for and facilitate the timely access to state of the art cancer care.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Survivorship Program
Our survivorship support program offers comprehensive, caring and culturally appropriate mental health support services to Latinas with breast and cervical cancer. Our services address critical needs of women who face their illness far from family and friends, in a foreign environment, often in poverty. The Access program improves the health outcomes of medically underserved Latinas with breast cancer by facilitating the timely access to breast cancer detection, treatment, information, support services and care. Access to health care is obtained through the efforts of a culturally competent patient navigator program. Information is disseminated through a specialized bilingual Patient Resource Center with up-to-date information on breast health and breast cancer care. Nueva Vida is also involved in research through partnerships with health-research institutions.
Outreach/education
A fundamental part of all NV programs and activities, are OUTREACH & EDUCATION services through workshops, trainings, outreach activities, observational learning, and tailored individual/group educational guidance.
Patient Navigation
Instrumental support is offered through culturally appropriate PATIENT NAVIGATION (PN). Navigators work closely with a network of partners, providing case management for no cost/low cost health care. PNs provide an entry point in a complex, fragmented health care system. Navigators also help clients keep track of appointments, translate during appointments, and arrange for transportation, translation, and other related services, including often assisting relatives through end of life issues.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Nueva Vida focuses on 3 high-touch integrated components of care along the cancer continuum.
1) Our culturally competent outreach and education programs provide relevant and evidenced-based resources covering a variety of topics related to cancer, treatment, survivorship and end-of-life care.
2) Nueva Vida provides access to care by patient navigation. Our navigators are trained bilingual, culturally sensitive providers who offer case management through the complex cancer care system.
3) Mental health survivorship support in the form of bilingual & bicultural psychosocial interventions to aid survivors/caregivers/families through facilitated and targeted group and individual therapy.

NUEVA VIDA INC
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
