The Annual (Gynecological) Exam

Annual exams are recommended for women within three years of the onset of sexual activity or by the time they reach age 21. The exam allows a healthcare provider to assess normal development of reproductive organs and screen for certain health problems. It also provides an opportunity to test heart, lung and breast health, and to talk with a clinician about any sexual health concerns.

Gannett makes every effort to provide a comfortable, safe and confidential setting for women so this important preventive effort is easy and convenient.
