SAGE is designed to increase regular breast and cervical cancer screenings for women ages 40 to 64 whose income and insurance coverage create barriers to routine examination as recommended by the physican and the American Cancer Society.

Services covered include:

Clinical breast exam

              Mammography

              Pap Smear and pelvic exam

Women under the age of 40 are eligible for mammography if they have breast signs or symptoms suspicious for cancer as a lump, skin inflammation, discharge, breast sore or noticeable deformity that has been evaluated by a medical provider. She may then enroll into the program.
