Louisiana Breast & Cervical Health Program

Louisiana Breast & Cervical Health Program is a medical provider in New Orleans, LA, dedicated to delivering life-saving breast and cervical cancer screenings to low-income, uninsured, and underserved women across the state. As part of the CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), the program offers free or low-cost screenings, diagnostic services, and patient navigation support. It operates through a network of regional and provider-specific clinics, including locations in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and other key areas. The program is recognized for its strong impact, having contributed to lowering Louisiana’s breast cancer death rate and raising screening rates to the national average. With a perfect 5.00 rating and one verified review, it is highly regarded for its accessible, compassionate care.

Housed at the LSU Health New Orleans School of Public Health since October 2002, the Louisiana Breast & Cervical Health Program is the only NBCCEDP program in the nation located within an academic institution. It is a core component of the Louisiana Cancer Prevention & Control Programs (LCP), which includes the Louisiana Tumor Registry, one of the top-ranked cancer registries in the U.S. The program’s mission centers on improving women’s health outcomes through early detection, education, and outreach. It provides a range of resources, including multilingual flyers, self-sampling guides for HPV testing, referral forms, and detailed information on cancer prevention, insurance assistance, and clinical trials.

Located at 2020 Gravier St, the program sits just a short walk from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, the Seton Building clinic, and University Medical Center, all within a half-mile radius. It is situated near Tulane Avenue and South Claiborne Avenue, major thoroughfares in the central New Orleans corridor, placing it in close proximity to key healthcare and academic infrastructure.

The program is distinguished by its thorough, well-documented online presence and a website that search engines can easily interpret, reflecting its reliability and transparency. Its deep integration with academic and public health systems ensures that services are evidence-based, consistently delivered, and accessible to those who need them most. As a statewide leader in cancer prevention, Louisiana Breast & Cervical Health Program stands as a vital resource in New Orleans and across Louisiana, where early detection remains a lifeline for countless women.
