<p>My four-part series, a project of the <a href="/fellowships/seminars/national-health-journalism">2008 National Health Journalism Fellowship</a>, won first place for minority issue reporting in the state's Society of Professional Journalists contest. It examined the cultural factors which prevent Navajos from receiving cancer treatment through western medicine and the "patient navigators" who are trying to bridge the divide.</p>
<p>These stories originally appeared as a two-part series:</p> <p>Part 1: <a href="Pakistani doctor finds lots of loyal patients, friends in Laudon">"Feels Like Home: Pakistani doctor finds lots of loyal patients, friendly in Loudon"</a></p> <p>Part 2: <a href="#Foreign-born physicians one treatment for rural counties' doctor shortages">"Prescription from Abroad: Foreign-born physicians one treatment for rural counties' doctor shortages."</a></p>
