A Women's Health Initiative
Screen Your Future is a student created public health coalition focused on Women's health. Our mission is to educate underpriviledged women in the Kansas City area about the importance of their health including screenings for cervical and breast cancer.
Mammograms are an important tool in preventing breast cancer. Women should start getting yearly mammograms from ages 45-54. Early detection is important in beating breast cancer, if you think there is something wrong contact your doctor or local planned parenthood to schedule a mammogram!
Pap smears are an important tool in preventing cervical cancer. Women should start getting pap smears when they turn 21. Early detection is important in beating cervical cancer, get your pap smear as soon as possible!
Preventative screenings can seem like a daunting task and even finding a place to get screened can be challenging. However, never fear, there are a variety of options for those in the greater KC area.
At the end of the day, we want to help women take care of their wellbeing and health. When you have the knowledge and resources to ensure your health, then you can meet your greatest potential!
