Brief Description
SEE, TEST & TREAT
See, Test & Treat is a free, pathologist-led cancer screening and health education program that brings the power of diagnostic medicine to medically underserved populations with the goals of:
- Addressing health disparities by reducing barriers to care for medically underserved people through health care system partnerships.
- Empowering prevention by delivering dignified cervical and breast cancer screenings—with same-day or prompt results—with a focus on health education.
- Connecting communities by linking patients and their families to a medical home and resources within their own communities.
In a single-day, culturally appropriate program, women receive a pelvic and clinical breast exam, a Pap test with same-day results, a screening mammogram with same-day or prompt results, connection to follow-up care, interpretive services, impactful health education, and translated educational materials to take home.
