WISEWOMAN: Improving the Health of Uninsured Women: 2007
CDC's WISEWOMAN Programs in the United States
WISEWOMAN programs provide women with opportunities, skills, and
knowledge to help them adopt a heart healthy lifestyle. Both enhanced and
standard projects provide CVD risk factor screening and education
activities for women. The enhanced programs also conduct research to test
the effectiveness of the lifestyle intervention. Standard programs do not
conduct research.
Note: To join the WISEWOMAN program, you must be enrolled in the
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) in
your state. Although NBCCEDP is available in all 50 states, the WISEWOMAN
program is not. The states listed above are the only states that have
WISEWOMAN programs. If there is not a WISEWOMAN program in your state, but
you are still in need of medical care, visit the
HRSA Find a Health Center for a list
of health centers.
