Complimentary Women's Health Screening Offered

A complimentary cancer screening will be offered to all adult women over the age of 18 living in Springfield. Nannies, other household employees and those who may not have health insurance coverage are also welcome.

The screening will begin at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 28 at the Madison Health Department, located in the Civic Center, 28 Walnut St. in Madison. 

Appointments are necessary and can be made by calling 973-593-3079 ext.1 starting Oct. 3. 

The check up will include manual breast and pelvic exams, colo-rectal exams, blood pressure checks and education on the technique of monthly breast self-examination for each participant. Due to recently updated recommendations for Pap testing, Dr. Rohini Jobanputra will determine with each woman if a Pap test is advisable for her. A $25.00 fee may apply if a Pap test is administered.

The Madison Health Department is encouraging women to sign up for the screening and to spread the word to other women in the township who may not know about this check up.

Call the Madison Health Dept. (973-593-3079 ext.1) for an appointment. Participants should have their physician's name and address ready when they call.
