Screenings and Tests
DAWN provides free testing and medical imaging services when indicated to take good care of our patients. Laboratory specimens are collected by trained students and nurses at the clinic.
It may take up to 2-weeks for a staff member to contact you about your test results. A doctor review all results within 24 hours of receiving results to look for urgent findings to contact your sooner for anything urgent.
In Clinic Testing
Some tests can be completed immediately at clinic, including pregnancy testing and UTI testing—pregnant patients will be referred to a full-time obstetrician (OB) and may return to primary care at DAWN after delivery.
We provide Pap Smears and can complete colposcopies to follow-up an abnormal pap smear. We do not currently have free mammograms but are able to refer you to a low-cost screening mammogram clinic. We currently are unable to offer cancer screening but are working on starting this program.
In addition to...
