Nebraska Medicine\/UNMC pathologists and cytotechnologists partnered with Charles Drew Health Center, Inc. and Methodist Health System to provide free, same-day cancer screenings for women in the community without insurance. The event took place Sept. 26.
\n

“Women shouldn’t have to go years without a mammogram or pap smear,” said Ana Yuil-Valdes, MD, assistant professor with the UNMC Department of Pathology and Microbiology. “See, Test & Treat begins with a pathologist who recognizes the need in his or her community.”
\n

See, Test & Treat is a national program from the College of American Pathologists Foundation that provides similar screenings around the country.<\/p>\n

“Cytology has always been behind the scenes in women’s health care,” said Troy Matthias, cytotechnologist lead.
\n

“The event gives us an opportunity to serve women who do not have a means to be screened under normal circumstances.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
