WISEWOMAN Program Locations

CDC funds 21 WISEWOMAN programs, which operate on the local level in states and tribal organizations. WISEWOMAN programs provide standard preventive services including blood pressure and cholesterol testing. WISEWOMAN programs also offer testing for diabetes. Women are not just tested and referred, but can also take advantage of lifestyle programs that target poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and smoking, such as healthy cooking classes, fitness competitions, or quit-smoking classes. The interventions may vary from program to program, but all are designed to promote lasting, healthy lifestyle changes.

Note: To join the WISEWOMAN program, you must be enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) in your state. Although NBCCEDP is available in all 50 states, the WISEWOMAN program is not. The states listed above are the only states that have WISEWOMAN programs. If there is not a WISEWOMAN program in your state, but you are still in need of medical care, visit the HRSA Find a Health Center for a list of health centers.
