Kentucky Women's Cancer Screening Program
The Kentucky Women’s Cancer Screening Program offers breast and cervical cancer screenings, diagnostic and treatment services. These services are provided to women who meet income eligibility requirements and who do not have health insurance to cover the cost. This program is part of the Centers for Disease Control’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.
Through the Graves County Health Department, women may receive a mammogram, a breast exam by a health professional, a Pap test, and a pelvic exam. These tests are performed following the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. If any abnormal results are found, the woman is then eligible for follow-up diagnostic services. If cancer or pre-cancerous conditions are diagnosed, the woman may be eligible for Medicaid coverage for treatment.
