YWCA Women's Health Outreach helps link women to culturally appropriate women’s health care, including:
- Free or low-cost mammograms, pap tests and breast exams
- Referrals to quality women's health care at local community health clinics
- Outreach to low-income and medically under-served populations specifically in the African-American, Lesbian/Bisexual, Russian/Ukrainian and Latina communities
Mobile health screenings
