Take an Active Role in Your Health!
Women today face many demands and challenges. It is important to create a healthy balance in your life. Knowing your health risks and what you can do to protect your health are the first steps. Having routine health screenings will help you live a longer, healthier life.
Care for Yourself
The Care for Yourself Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (IA BCCEDP) services is part of a national program that helps reduce deaths from these two diseases. To reduce your risk, you must have regular screening tests. If the Care for Yourself BCCEDP is right for you, we can help you schedule: clinical breast exams, mammograms, pelvic exams, and Pap tests. If the screenings you receive through the Care for Yourself BCCEDP show you have breast or cervical cancer, we can help you find treatment.
