Summary

This study tests a program where trained community health workers help head and neck cancer patients who first went to the emergency room. The workers call or text patients to solve problems like transportation or insurance that can delay care. The goal is to see if this support helps patients get diagnosed and start treatment sooner. About 24 adults will take part, and their results will be compared to similar patients from the past.
