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.

Program Expectations

The following are mandatory components every See, Test & Treat must provide:

  • Free cervical and breast cancer screenings for medically underserved populations (MUPs) or populations living in medically underserved areas (MUAs) as defined by the Health Resources and Services Administration
  • Same-day results for cervical cancer screenings; results same-day (preferable) or within one week for breast cancer screenings
  • Culturally, linguistically appropriate health education for your target communities
  • Connection to care for any individual in need of follow-up services or treatment, regardless of health insurance status
