Why Women’s Health Screenings Matter
Routine screenings like pap tests and breast exams can detect problems early—often before symptoms appear—when treatment is most effective. These exams are a critical part of preventive health care for women, especially in rural areas where access to OB/GYN services may be limited.
By offering these services in partnership with Kno-Ho-Co, Sanctuary Community Action helps ensure that every woman has the opportunity to care for her health, regardless of income, insurance status, or location.
