Screening providers are located at the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center, the Southcentral Foundation Valley Clinic and the Alaska Native Medical Center.

Our providers offer annual exams to women 18 to 64 years of age and for women 50-64 years of age, screening mammograms. If any of these screening exams are abnormal, our providers offer diagnostic testing to rule out other health problems, including cancer.
