One goal of Women's Health Check is to keep you with your present physician. The program pays for annual mammograms, clinical breast exams, a pap test and pelvic exam, and time to discuss your health concerns with your physician.
You can also request Mother's Day promotional materials, pink ribbons, table tents for restaurants, and cards for florists and beauty salons. All items promote Breast Cancer Awareness.
