Women's Wellness Connection
Prevention is Powerful.
The healthier we are, the stronger we are in our lives and caring for those around us. It all begins with how we care for ourselves and if we make our own health a priority. Annual wellness exams are a way to prevent illnesses and detect health issues early, when they are easiest to treat and survival rates are highest.
Contact us to see if you qualify for free cervical and breast cancer screening exams.
HRRMC is committed to offering cervical cancer screenings as well as state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnostic tools, including 2D and 3D mammography, to ensure early detection. Plus, our experienced healthcare team provides exceptional and compassionate treatment to patients throughout our region. Mammogram screenings are performed at HRRMC’s main campus in Salida.

Make the connection
HRRMC’s Women’s Wellness Connection grant educates, empowers and encourages women to access annual wellness exams. We believe that a woman's choice to live in our region should not limit her ability to receive annual wellness exams. We also believe all women should have access to these services, regardless of income or insurance coverage.
Women’s Wellness clinic services are available at four convenient locations:
| BUENA VISTA HEALTH CENTER | SAGUACHE HEALTH CENTER |
|---|---|
| CUSTER COUNTY HEALTH CENTER | SALIDA HEALTH CENTER |
The Women’s Wellness Connection program offers free cervical cancer screenings/Pap smear tests and free breast cancer screenings/mammograms to women who qualify. To be eligible, women must be between 21-64 years old, living within a specific income level, be uninsured or underinsured, and reside in Chaffee, Saguache, Custer, western Fremont, western Park, or Lake Counties.
Our Women’s Wellness Connection team provides the support you need to navigate the healthcare system. Our Women’s Health Coordinator, Melanie Critelli, can help to connect you with doctors, schedule appointments, and answer questions about preventative screenings – all at no cost to you.
HELP. HOPE. HERE at HRRMC.

Preventative screenings are extremely important. The main purpose is to detect cancer early—before there is pain or any other symptoms. That is when there is the best chance for a cure and to be well.
