Show Me Healthy Women (SMHW) is a free breast and cervical cancer screening program for the state of Missouri.
To qualify for a free breast and/or cervical cancer screening, women must meet certain age, income, and insurance guidelines.
There are approximately 180 facilities throughout the state that provide these free cancer screenings. The Partnership
now has a SMHW Coordinator that can tell you if you meet all the qualifications and help schedule an appointment for
the screenings.
The objective of the SMHW program is to offer screening services to women who are considered
high risk. High risk women include, but are not limited to, women with low income, women over 50, women with no or little
insurance, women who have rarely or never been screened, rural women, women of color, and women with disabilities.
Free
diagnostic or treatment services are available to women who are U.S. citizens and diagnosed with breast or cervical abnormalities
or cancer by a Show Me Healthy Women provider.
