Health Programs
The Women’s Health Network and Men’s Health Partnership at Franklin County Home Care 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, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, heart disease and stroke to decrease their rates of morbidity and mortality.
The program is offered to men and women between 40-64 years of age who live in the Franklin County/North Quabbin area.
Services covered through the Care Coordination Program include a complete physical for women with a mammogram, pap testing, and clinical breast exam. A complete physical exam for men is offered with prostate screening for men over 50. Cardiovascular screening is provided for both groups and risk reduction counseling is offered to prevent and control heart and other chronic disease. Colonoscopies are reimbursed for both groups if you are 50 years of age or older, and younger if you have a family history of colon cancer.
We can also provide referrals to community resources and local support groups.
Enrollment takes 20 minutes or less and can be done by phone. Contact the Health Programs at 1-800-732-4636 or 413-773-5555 or 978-544-2259 or TDD 413-772-6566, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
