The Sage Screening Program (formerly the Minnesota Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program) is a statewide comprehensive breast and cervical cancer screening program whose primary objective is to increase the proportion of age-appropriate women who are screened for breast and cervical cancer by:
- Providing free screening and follow-up services to uninsured and underinsured women
- Reaching out to women who may not have regular health care providers
- Educating the public about the importance of screening
- Raising awareness among health professionals
- Developing statewide partnerships to promote screening
