The Women's Health Network Project - Massachusetts Mental Health Center

The Women’s Health Network (WHN) provides screening services to income-eligible uninsured women for the early detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer and cardiovascular disease, as well as lifestyle interventions to decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke. WHN is administered by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and funded in part by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation Program (WISEWOMAN).

Between January and June, 2005, the Department of Public Health is sponsoring a review and planning project (RPPF) in order to evaluate ten years of WHN program operations and to identify program modifications that could improve program quality, cost effectiveness, and accessibility. This project will help the Department to maximize adherence to Department, WHN, and CDC guidelines, increase program enrollment, improve client choice, decrease provider burden, and facilitate client navigation through the system.
