Overview

The CDC’s Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) program was authorized by Congress in 1993 to extend preventive health services to achieve optional cardiovascular health for participants of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The WISEWOMAN program provides low-income, uninsured, and underinsured participants aged 35 to 64 years that are eligible for NBCCEDP access to additional preventive health services including assessments of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and referrals to healthy behavior support services (HBSS). The HBSS include lifestyle programs, health coaching, and community-based resources that address heart disease and stroke risk factors, specifically hypertension, and support healthy behaviors including self-monitoring blood pressure with clinical support, healthy diet, physical activity, and smoking cessation. The WISEWOMAN program aims to improve cardiovascular health with a focus on advancing health equity.  


The current cooperative agreement (DP-23-0003: 2023 – 2028) funds 35 recipients in 32 states, 2 tribal organizations and 1 US-Affiliated Pacific Island.
