Every Woman Counts

Every Woman Counts (EWC) joined Live Well San Diego as a Recognized Partner on June 21, 2018. EWC supports Live Well San Diego’s vision of creating safe, healthy and thriving communities by assisting under-served women in obtaining high quality breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up services with the intent of detecting cancer in the early stages.

EWC vision is to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates associated with breast and cervical cancer by detecting the disease early.

The program is designed to facilitate annual re-screening of women with normal or benign breast and/or cervical conditions, and to provide follow-up services for women with possible diagnoses of breast and/or cervical cancer, including referral for treatment when necessary.
