Breast & Cervical Screening


Breast & Cervical The Pinellas County Health Department’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program provides free breast and cervical cancer screening exams including mammograms, pap smears, pelvic exams, and clinical breast exams to women who are 50 to 64 years of age (low income, uninsured or under-insured).

Please call (727) 824-6917 to schedule an appointment.

The Florida Department of Health hopes to reduce the burden of cancer on all Floridians by offering more education, early detection and treatment. In a continuing effort to increase awareness of breast and cervical cancer and the importance of early detection, our Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program offers information and education programs to the public and health professionals. Please call (727) 824-6917 to schedule an education program or a staff in-service.

Our Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program is funded by a grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the Florida Department of Health’s Comprehensive Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

Early detection is the key to successful diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and cervical cancer.
