Free mammograms and cervical cancer screenings are available to low income and uninsured women through a federally and state funded program called "Every Woman Counts."
The program serves 5,000 California women every year, including many in the central valley.
To find out if you qualify, call this toll-free number: 1-800-511-2300.
