The Navajo Nation Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention Program (NNBCCPP) was initially funded in 1996 through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for implementing a program to provide breast and cervical cancer screening services to un/under-insured women and evidence-based strategies to reduce structural barriers to screening. This funding is based on the “Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-354)”
Services in New Mexico are provided at Canoncito Health Center, Crownpoint Healthcare Facility (Thoreau & Pueblo Pintado), Pine Hill Health Center, and Alamo Navajo Health Center.
