Alaska's Ladies First Program
Vital women’s health services are often out of reach for uninsured or underinsured Alaskans. The Ladies First program
helps make pap smears and mammograms available to thousands of Alaskans who need women’s health services but can’t afford them.
Helping Alaskans Since 1995
To date, the Ladies First Program has helped diagnose almost 600 cases of breast cancer, over 60 cases of cervical cancer and over 4,300 precancerous cervical conditions.
These tests are extremely important in helping Alaskan women lead full, healthy lives.
- Breast cancer that is diagnosed in Stage 1 has a 5-year survival rate of nearly 100%.
- Cervical cancer that is diagnosed in the Localized stage has a 5-year survival rate of 92%.
Mat-Su Health Services, Inc. is proud to partner with Ladies First to offer free or reduced breast and cervical cancer screenings to Alaskans in need.
