The Washington State Breast, Cervical, and Colon Health Program (BCCHP) provides free breast and cervical cancer screening to eligible people in Washington State. Eligibility is based on health insurance status, income, and age. Please see our WA State Department of Health webpage for more eligibility information. We also support clinical partners with implementing evidence-based interventions to improve the screening rates for breast, cervical, and colon cancers.

- Breast cancer screenings (for example, breast exams and mammograms).

- Follow-up tests as needed, based on screening results.
- Help with navigating resources for treatment if required.

How is the program funded?
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) administers the program. Grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state funds help fund the program services.
DOH contracts with six regional organizations throughout the state, known as Prime Contractors. These contractors provide the BCCHP program to communities within their local regions.
Health Systems Improvement
Along with providing direct services through Prime Contractors, we work with contracted clinics. We assist clinics in quality improvement and implementing evidence-based interventions that support increased screening rates for breast/chest, cervical, and colon cancers.
