Membership is free to everyone. SelfMade Health Network (SMHN) is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As a result, there are never any fees associated with joining SelfMade Health Network (SMHN) and no costs for services provided by SMHN.
SelfMade Health Network is a national network working together to decrease cancer and tobacco-related disparities among vulnerable communities including low socio-economic status (SES) populations.
We strive to link vulnerable populations to evidence-based information, resources and essential services by nurturing and supporting a partnership with our member organizations. The potential effect of these combined aspects are intended to ensure greater equitable access, increased utilization of preventive and routine cancer care resources, and tobacco-free living environmental support where otherwise unavailable.
Our priority populations include: employees with a low annual income (including minimum wage employees and unemployed), part-time and seasonal employees, uninsured adults, and those receiving assistance from food banks or receiving other forms of state/federal assistance and social services. Populations residing in low-income housing communities and underserved areas with limited healthcare resources, high concentrations of poverty or drop-out rates are also included.
