Women cancer screening set

 July 22, 2004

The Utah Cancer Control Program, a joint effort of the state Department of Health and the Davis County Health Department, is providing free breast and cervical cancer screening clinics for women.
Each exam includes a breast exam, Pap test and a free mammogram voucher for those who qualify. A registered nurse performs all the exams; fees are based on a sliding scale.

"Breast cancer will strike more than 200,000 times this year and claim more than 40,000 lives in the United States," said Davis Health director Lewis Garrett.
