Test whether the use of a community services navigation intervention in conjunction with social service referrals decreases social needs compared to the referrals alone (usual care). B-SINCERE, reported on a 0-10 point scale, with 0=No Social Needs present, and 1-10=Social Needs present, anything greater than 0 indicates social needs and eligibility for the study.

Episode Completion (EC). EC is the name of a dichotomous scale, reported on a 2-point scale that is calculated from patient electronic health record (EHR), with 0=No Breast Cancer Screening completed, 1=Breast Cancer Screening completed.18 months
