Women's Health Network Care Coordination Program

Woman with doctorThe Women's Health Network Care Coordination Program at Franklin County Home Care (formerly Women's Health Network) is a screening and awareness program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

This Care Coordination Program is designed to focus on prevention and the early detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, heart disease and stroke. The program helps decrease the rates of mortality associated with these conditions.

The Women's Health Network Care Coordination Program is offered to women between the ages of 40-64 who live in Franklin County and the North Quabbin area.

Services covered through the Care Coordination Program include a complete physical, mammogram, PAP testing and clinical breast exam. Cardiovascular screening is provided and risk reduction counseling is offered to prevent and control heart disease and other chronic diseases. Colonoscopies are reimbursed if you are 50 years or older. If you are younger than 50 and have a family history of colon cancer a colonoscopy is also reimbursed.

We can provide referrals to community resources and local support groups.
