The District of Columbia ranks highest of all states in the US for breast and cervical cancer mortality. The mission of the DC Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (DC BCCEDP) is to reduce the District’s breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer burden through the provision of health education, technical expertise, case management, and coordination of early detection services for District residents.
Project WISH (Women Into Staying Healthy), is a multi-faceted program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which provides free cancer education, screening, and diagnostic services to low-income District women with little or no health insurance.
Currently, Project WISH is enrolling eligible women ages 50 and over into the program for breast and cervical cancer screening. Services covered by Project WISH include an annual mammogram, a Pap test, a clinical breast exam and related diagnostic services at one of our area providers.
Free transportation and interpreter services are available for appointments. Women can apply for Project WISH at participating clinics and hospitals throughout the city or by contacting Project WISH directly at:
