The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation Program (BCCCNP) Screening services listed above are free of charge through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation Program. A woman must be age 40-64, meet income guidelines, and have no health insurance or be under-insured.

Participants benefit from health coaching, group programs and activities, and the entrepreneurial gardening program.
