The Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program makes it easy to get the breast and cervical cancer screenings doctors recommend.
Eligible women can receive screenings for free or at low-cost if the following program eligibility requirements are met.
We work to provide breast and cervical cancer screenings to women in the Greater Jacksonville area.
Reasons to be screened
- Mammograms can find breast cancer before it can be detected by breast exams.
- Many women do not have symptoms at the time breast cancer is detected.
- The chance of survival increases if cancer is found early.
- Detecting cervical cancer before it spreads is easy with regular Pap tests.
Eligibility

- Uninsured or underinsured
- Meets income guidelines of the program
- Live in one of the following counties: Clay, Duval, Baker, Nassau, or St. Johns
Services Provided

- Assistance with various follow-up diagnostic tests if the physician recommends them and grant funding is available; or assistance in locating a facility that will provide the tests at a reduced cost if testing must be obtained outside the program
- Free care coordination to all clients with abnormal exams
- Women screened through the program and diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer are referred to Florida Medicaid for eligibility determination.
