Celebrating International Women’s Day with Access to Life-Saving Screenings
At Aslan Health, we believe that every woman deserves access to quality healthcare—regardless of her financial situation. This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and well-being of women in our community by highlighting an important resource: the Sage and Sage Plus Programs.
These Minnesota Department of Health initiatives provide free cancer and heart health screenings for qualifying individuals, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to essential care.
Sage Program: Free Cancer Screenings for Women
Breast and cervical cancer are among the most common health concerns for women, yet early detection can significantly improve outcomes. As a Sage provider, Aslan Health offers free screenings to women who meet the eligibility requirements. These screenings include:
✔ Mammograms – Detecting breast cancer early can save lives.
✔ Pap Tests – Screening for cervical cancer helps catch abnormalities before they become life-threatening.
✔ Diagnostic Follow-ups – If a screening detects anything concerning, further testing is covered.
These services ensure that women in our community receive the care they need without financial strain.
Sage Plus Program: Prioritizing Heart Health for Women
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women, yet many are unaware of their risk factors. Through the Sage Plus Program, Aslan Health provides:
💙 Heart Health Screenings – Blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose tests to assess cardiovascular risk.
💙 Lifestyle Coaching – Personalized guidance on nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
💙 Risk Reduction Support – Helping women take proactive steps to prevent heart disease and improve overall well-being.
By offering these services, we empower women to take charge of their health and build a foundation for long-term wellness.
Breaking Barriers to Care
Many women delay or avoid screenings due to financial hardship, lack of insurance, or concerns about affordability. Aslan Health is dedicated to removing these barriers by ensuring that all women, regardless of income or background, can access life-saving care.
This International Women’s Day, we honor the incredible women in our community by continuing to provide whole-person, compassionate healthcare. If you or a loved one could benefit from the Sage or Sage Plus programs, reach out to us today to learn more.
