Taking care of your health is important, but screenings and follow-up care can be hard to afford. That’s where the North Carolina Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (NC BCCCP) comes in.
Each year, NC BCCCP helps more than 10,000 women across our state get cancer screenings and follow-up care they need at little or no cost.
If you qualify, you can get services close to home:
- Your local health department
- Some community health centers, hospitals and private health care providers
