 The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program at the Logan
County Health Department provides free
breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic procedures, and follow-up for low-income, under- or uninsured women
who live in a ten-county area that includes Sangamon, Logan, Mason, Macon, Menard, DeWitt, Piatt, Cass, Shelby, and Morgan Counties
in Central Illinois.
The program is cooperatively funded
through a grant by the Illinois Department of Public Health and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is
supplemented with grants by the Decatur and Peoria affiliates of
the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Services are obtained from IBCCP providers in each county.
Case management services are provided for clients with abnormal screening results.
Woman found to have pre-cancerous conditions or cancer are referred to the Illinois Department of Public Aid for the follow-up care through the Illinois Medicaid Treatment Act.
While the program primarily serves women ages 35-64, symptomatic younger women may be enrolled if they meet program guidelines.
