Every Woman's Life Breast Cancer Screening Program

The Stafford County Health Department and Rappahannock Health District participate in the Every Woman's Life (EWL) program, a public health program that helps uninsured, low-income women gain access to free breast cancer screening services.  Screening and early detection reduce death rates and improve treatment options.

Mammography is an important preventive health procedure for women.  For early detection of breast cancer, the best option is regular screening mammograms for women over the age of 40. In some sites where EWL services are offered, women can also be screened for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose and also learn how to become more physically active, eat healthier foods, and more. For detailed information about eligibility guidelines for the EWL program and to find a screening provider site, please call the health department or visit the website.
