The cervical and breast cancer services


provided by the


See, Test and Treat Program serve to eliminate the incidence of cervical and breast cancer among minority and underserved women,” said Dr. Crystal Moore, Pathologist Lead for HRCHC’s See, Test and Treat program. “Through


this initiative, we see a reduction in the incidence of both cervical and breast cancer and provide women with education


concerning their unique


risks. As the sole See, Test and Treat program hosted in the Commonwealth of Virginia this year, it is vital to the positive healthcare


outcomes for Hampton Roads’ underserved women.”


See, Test and Treat will provide women with a free Pap test with same-day results and screening mammogram prompt


with same-day results. Sentara or Healthcare


will provide on-site mammograms, via its mobile unit, and will have staff on site to provide interactive educational information. In addition, HRCHC will provide children’s activities. More than 12,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer this year, however, with screening tests, such as the Pap test and HPV test, cervical cancer is now one of the most preventable cancers.
