WISEWOMAN programs provide women with opportunities, skills, and knowledge to help them adopt a heart healthy lifestyle. Both enhanced and standard projects provide CVD risk factor screening and education activities for women. The enhanced programs also conduct research to test the effectiveness of the lifestyle intervention. Standard programs do not conduct research.

Note: To join the WISEWOMAN program, you must be enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) in your state. Although NBCCEDP is available in all 50 states, the WISEWOMAN program is not. The states listed above are the only states that have WISEWOMAN programs. If there is not a WISEWOMAN program in your state, but you are still in need of medical care, visit the HRSA Find a Health Center for a list of health centers.
