How are WISEWOMAN programs implemented?
States or other recognized or approved organizations carry out WISEWOMAN services in local communities. Program directors choose locations within these communities based on a number of factors. Selected sites receive funds that allow services to be provided. Usually the locations are a public health department or a doctor’s office. Women are able to get their cholesterol and blood pressure tested and receive educational materials or counseling.
