Women who do not have health insurance and who are between the ages of 50 and 64 can call the Ocean County Breast Health Education and Early Detection program at 732-341-1400 to schedule an appointment. FPCOC participates in this program. Your gynecological exam can be scheduled at our facility. Please remember that this is a screening program only.
