WISEWOMAN (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation) is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention program for underserved and underinsured women ages 40 to 64. It provides screening for CVD risk factors, lifestyle counseling to improve diet and physical activity, and clinical referral and follow-up services. Women who participate in WISEWOMAN also receive breast and cervical cancer screening through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. WISEWOMAN is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is currently in nine states. North Carolina has been a part of the WISEWOMAN program since its inception in 1995.
