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.
