Overview
Each clinic does Women’s Health Care as able, including PAP smears, breast exams, IUD Implanon placements/removal, and endometrial biopsies. There are several case managers who help with women’s health (see attached list). YKHC has a CDC Breast and Cervical Health Grant that helps YK bring in patients for PAP smears, annual exams and cancer diagnosis of breast or cervical or uterine cancer. The grant will pay for travel, meals and lodging if necessary for any women between the ages of 21-64.
See the current Cervical Cancer Screening with hrHPV guideline. If abnormal PAPs, they are followed on a database by the CDC Breast and Cervical Care Manager. We follow the ASCCP guidelines for dealing with abnormal PAPs. There is a great app for it on your smart phone.
Any abnormal looking cervixes, endometrial biopsies and skin lesion removals in the perineum that you feel need further work up can be referred to Women’s Health in Bethel. Feel free to contact the Gynecology Case Manager. See the current Breast Cancer Screening guideline for recommendations on mammograms.
For annual exams, you can use Well Woman’s encounter pathway note. Please make sure to document Family History, Procedure History and counsel on birth control options.
