BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING Program

Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program

Our Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (BCCP) offers important health services to women who may not otherwise have access to them.

It is crucial for women to be screened routinely. Early detection saves lives and death rates are highest among women who do not receive timely cancer screenings. BCCP provides clinical breast exams and mammograms for uninsured or low-income women aged 40 to 64. We also offer PAP smear tests and pelvic exams to check for cervical cancer in women aged 21 to 64.

If you’re diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer or pre-cancer, we can help you apply for Women’s Health Medicaid.

To schedule an appointment for a breast exam, referral for a mammogram, or pap smear/pelvic exam call 770-904-3717. When you schedule an appointment, please notify them if you are having a breast problem or gynecological issue so you are seen as soon as possible.

Community Health Assessment / Community Health Improvement Plans

Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have been created for the three counties we serve.

The community-wide health assessment, which examines the county’s health status, is intended to help shape the collaborative efforts to improve the health of residents.

The community health improvement plan describes how the Health Department and a variety of community partners will work together to improve the health of the population through various projects and programs.

Access each county’s CHA and CHIP below:
