Clinic to offer low-cost checkups -- for women only

Article here. Excerpt:

'Throughout May, Bridge Community Health Clinic will offer well-woman checkups for $25. The checkups include a pap smear to screen for cervical cancer, a pelvic exam, a breast exam and blood pressure check, said Sarah Jaeger, a physician assistant at the clinic.

The exams do not include mammograms, but the clinic works with Aspirus Women's Health to see if Bridge Clinic patients qualify for free mammograms, said Laura Scudiere, Bridge Community Health Clinic's executive director.

"With the economy and people being laid off, I think it's really going to resonate with people this year," Scudiere said. Some women only visit the clinic in May.

Screenings have caught precancerous conditions among some patients, Jaeger said. The clinic works with the state's Wisconsin Well Woman program to help offset costs for follow-up care.'
