What is WISEWOMAN?

The Oregon WISEWOMAN Program provides heart disease, stroke and diabetes screening for medically underserved and low income women at no cost. Contracted and trained Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) providers screen BCCP patients for the WISEWOMAN Program. We aim to reduce morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes and help women lead a healthier lifestyle.
