Well Woman HealthCheck Program
The Well Woman HealthCheck Program, based out of North Country HealthCare, provides a comprehensive approach to Breast & Cervical Cancer screening to women in Coconino and Navajo Counties. The WWHP provides free mammograms and cervical cancer screenings to qualifying women. Free or low cost breast and cervical cancer diagnostic testing is also available. If diagnosed with cancer, most women enrolled in our program will automatically qualify for state assistance with their treatment through AHCCCS. Limited funding may be available to assist with treatment expenses for women who do not qualify for AHCCCS. Program Staff educate and encourage women to do Breast Self Examinations and to be advocates for their own health.
Services are available through North Country HealthCare in Navajo and Coconino Counties. For services in Apache and Mohave County, please see the State web site for a list of programs in other areas: http://www.wellwomanhealthcheck.org/how_to_enroll.htm 
To qualify for the program, women must be between the ages of 40-64, be uninsured
(or under insured), and meet our income guidelines.
These women may also qualify:
- Women who are 65 or older without Medicare or they have Medicare part “A” ONLY (Hospitalization).
- Women younger than 40 who present with breast symptoms and /or a High Grade Abnormal Pap (but meet all other requirements), may be referred by their provider on a case by case basis only!
A woman who qualifies may receive on an annual basis:
- A Clinical Breast Exam (performed by one of our Contracted Providers)
- A Mammogram (low dose x-ray that examines the breast)
- A Pelvic Exam (manual palpation of reproductive system)
- A Pap Test (a microscopic examination of cervical cells)
If a woman enrolled in the Well Woman HealthCheck Program has an abnormal screening result, the program pays for approved diagnostic screening, provides case management and assistance in obtaining a definitive diagnosis.
