The Best Chance Network (BCN) provides free breast and cervical cancer screening to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women in South Carolina. Since 1991, BCN has been providing the following breast and cervical cancer screening services: clinical breast exams, mammograms, pelvic exams, Pap tests, and HPV tests. Eligible clients can receive these services if they are 21-64 years old (cervical cancer screenings), 30-64 years old (breast cancer screenings), have no health insurance or are underinsured, and have a household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level.
