Since 1991, Every Woman Matters has helped Nebraska women get their breast (mammography) and cervical (Pap test) preventive screenings. In 2001, the program added heart health (blood pressure) and diabetes (blood glucose, cholesterol) screenings. The program may pay for exams based on healthy history and program guidelines.

Nebraska Colon Cancer Screening Program

The Nebraska Colon Cancer Screening Program offers enrollment, screening and education information to Nebraska men and women who are 45-74 years of age. Tests and services may include a home based screening test (FIT) and/or colonoscopy. All screenings are based upon family and personal history.
