EWC 計劃
The Every Woman Counts (EWC) Program provides free breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic services and treatment referrals to eligible uninsured and underinsured low-income California residents.
The mission of EWC is to save lives by preventing and reducing the devastating effects of breast and cervical cancer for Californians and eliminate health disparities with a special emphasis on providing care to the underserved population.
The EWC Program is administered by the California Department of Health Care Services and is a part of the Benefits Division.
EWC is funded through a combination of state and federal resources, including support from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP).
