"YOU'RE WORTH IT! - WV Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program

(05/05/2004)

Submitted by Harriet D. Dial, MDiv Regional Cancer Information Specialist WV BCCSP "You're Worth It" is the slogan of the WV Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening program that promotes healthy lifestyles and health screenings for women. The program (BCCSP) also provides free mammograms and pap tests for low-income women. BCCSP is joining with local florists in Grantsville, Harrisville, St. Mary's, and Elizabeth to celebrate Mother's Day with floral cards being placed in all bouquets delivered for Mother's Day reminding women to get a mammogram! The card gives information about the free screening services offered by BCCSP as well as information for women who receive Medicare. Getting the word out that early detection is the best protection against breast and cervical cancer and that there are services available to WV women to help them receive these screenings is important information for all women. To find out more information about a local clinic that offers these free screenings, call 304-422-1515, the Parkersburg Regional Office for BCCSP. Those women who do not have Part B Medicare also qualify for this program! To order a Mother's Day bouquet from the sponsoring florist call Silks Plus Florist in Grantsville (354-6153); The Flower Basket in Harrisville (643-2394); Sweet Surprises in St. Mary's (684-3984); or Tiger Paw Florist in Elizabeth (275-3022).
