Public Health Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) has announced the Wisconsin Well Woman Program’s (WWWP) provision of free breast cancer screenings for women with limited income and little or no insurance.
WWWP offers free breast exams, mammograms, and other diagnostic tests for eligible women ages 40–65, and for women 35 and older who have breast symptoms or concerns. Women who are eligible for WWWP and learn they have breast cancer may also be eligible for Wisconsin Well Woman Medicaid, which covers treatment costs for breast cancer.
Last year, PHMDC enrolled 728 people to receive free breast screenings at local clinics.
Women who qualify can call (608) 242-6385 or (608) 242-6235 (for Spanish) to enroll in the program.
