Free Breast Health Services

Equal Hope’s Breast Cancer Screening and Follow-Up Program connects women to high-quality facilities in the Chicagoland area.

We believe access to high-quality screening is critical to reducing racial disparities in breast cancer mortality. Patients have a 99% chance of survival if breast cancer is detected early via a screening mammogram before symptoms persist. With this program, Equal Hope helps women overcome access barriers to high-quality care.

Reproductive Cancer Screenings & Follow-Up Program

Cervical cancer screening is a part of a woman’s health checkup and includes are two types of tests: the Pap test and the HPV (Human Papillomavirus) test. The Pap test (or Pap smear) looks for pre-cancerous cell changes on the cervix. The HPV test looks for the virus that can cause these cell changes.
