Saddle Hills County Health Clinic Now Offering Cervical Cancer Screening (Pap Tests)

The Saddle Hills County Health Clinic is now offering cervical cancer screening (Pap tests) to County residents as part of its preventive health services.

Cervical cancer screening is a key component of preventive health care and saves lives.
Regular screening can identify cell changes early—often before cancer develops or symptoms appear—when treatment is most effective.

Women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 69 may be eligible for screening. Residents are encouraged to speak with their health care provider about when to get screened and which option is right for them.

More information about cervical cancer screening is available through Alberta’s Screening for Life program at screeningforlife.ca

Details about the clinic, available services, appointment booking, and frequently asked questions can be found on the Saddle Hills County website here. 

Residents are also encouraged to subscribe to the County newsfeed and follow @saddlehillshealthclinic on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
