Healthy Texas Women provides a wide variety of women’s health and core family planning services, including:
Pregnancy testing
Pelvic examinations
Sexually transmitted infection services
Breast and cervical cancer screenings
Clinical breast examination
Mammograms
Screening and treatment for cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure
