Project Nana, Inc. is a tax-exempt, nonprofit public health organization that  promotes awareness of the need for women's health screenings and exams in seasoned women. Our goal is to reduce the incidence rate of late-stage diagnoses of gynecologic cancers and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among post-menopausal women and to improve their overall quality of life. Through community outreach and stakeholder engagement, we  establish networks of support, amplify voices and stories, and provide an environment for evidence-based education and interventions. 

Why? Post-menopausal women are at an increased risk for certain gynecologic cancers; age is typically a risk factor itself. However, due to the lack of specificity for this population in women’s health, many symptoms and cases of gynecologic cancers go undetected until advanced, late stages. These late stage diagnoses limit treatment options, have high fatality rates, and are costly to the patients, their families, and ultimately, health systems, insurance companies, and the community. However, early prevention and treatment typically reduces the risk of mortality and is more cost effective. Project Nana, Inc. is honored to partner with women's health providers, educators and advocates to deliver programs highlighting the need for information, engagement and access to annual, quality care by women's health providers and to dispel perceptions that women have diminished value and utility post menopause.
