You First is a unique program offering support for breast and cervical cancer screening and heart disease prevention. We aim to support our members in overcoming barriers to getting timely screenings and reaching their heart health goals.

  • Schedule and pay for heart health screenings and breast and cervical cancer screenings—plus any diagnostic follow-ups. 
  • Navigate the health care system—from answering questions, to scheduling appointments, to arranging transportation.
  • For members 35-64, free lifestyle benefits like fitness memberships, blood pressure equipment and support, coupons for local farmers markets—and much more.
