Weitzman Institute

With new funding from the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Dr. Grace Wang and the Weitzman Institute will develop an HPV test self sampling implementation package tailored to the needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). HPV test self sampling is an advancement in cervical cancer screening that may help FQHCs and community health centers increase cervical cancer screening rates. We hope that this project will lead to earlier detection of cervical cancer and better outcomes for FQHC patients.
