Breast and Cervical Cancer Program

Early detection is the key to survival when it comes to breast and cervical cancer. The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer program recently expanded to include more women.

The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program offers free breast exams, mammograms, pelvic exams and Pap tests for women. The program is open to uninsured women over the age of 35 years for the free cervical cancer screenings. Women over the age of 40 may receive free mammograms and breast exams.

Breast cancer claims many lives every year including 1,700 women from the state of Illinois. Survival rate is high if diagnosed early.

Breast exams, Pap tests and pelvic exams are offered through many of our local physicians. Mammograms are offered by the Sarah Bush Mobile Mammography Van at the Jasper County Health Department, the St. Anthony’s Diagnostic Center in Newton and area hospitals.

For more information or an appointment at a local physician or the health department, contact the our local Breast and Cervical Cancer Program at Sarah Bush Hospital - 1-800-331-1689. More information is available by calling the Illinois Department of Public Health Women’s Health Line at 1-888-522-1282
