BeWise
Free or low cost health screenings for women ages 40-64
The BeWise Program
The BeWise Program provides cardiovascular health screening and health coaching to eligible Utah women. BeWise is for women ages 40-64 who are mid-to-low-income, underinsured, or uninsured.
The goal of BeWise is to provide women with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to improve their diet, physical activity, and other lifestyle behaviors to prevent, delay, and control cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.
The Utah BeWise Program receives money from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention to provide these services. Utah is one of only 24 BeWise (also known as WISEWOMAN) programs funded by the CDC.

Women today face many demands and challenges. It is important to create a healthy balance in your life. Knowing your health risks and what you can do to protect your health are the first steps. The BeWise Program checks for heart disease risk factors and partners with other programs who screen for certain types of cancer.
When you participate in the BeWise program you may also receive education, goal-setting, and referrals to community-based programs that support physical activity, healthy eating, smoking cessation, and lower your health risks.
