Other screening resources

#FFFFFF

Your health is important to us. Even if you aren’t eligible for free breast or cervical cancer screenings or heart health tests through Women’s Wellness Connection or WISEWOMAN, it’s still important for you to get checked. Additional resources are below.

Over 90% of women who find breast or cervical cancer early survive at least 5 years. Heart disease kills more women in the U.S. than any other disease, yet many women don’t feel bad or show signs of sickness until the disease is far along. Annual screenings and preventive efforts can make a big impact on your health.
