The Good Neighbor Project: volunteerism and the elderly African-American patient with cancer.
The Good Neighbor Project is aimed at eliminating cultural and social barriers by recruiting and educating volunteers from African-American churches to provide in-home services for indigent, geriatric, African-American patients with cancer in Oakland, Calif. Volunteers' knowledge about and attitude toward cancer before and after their participation in the project were determined by a survey.
