women's wellness  

ENCOREplus

Educates and screens medically underserved women for breast and cervical cancer. Our outreach efforts to reach women of diverse ethnic and socio-cultural backgrounds are extensive. We outreach and educate women about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer, as well as coordinate monthly Block Screening Clinics to provide women with pap tests, clinical breast exams and mammograms. We also remove barriers women face that may preclude them from receiving services by providing transportation, childcare and intrepreters.
