The clinic will be open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., on the B wing of the fourth floor. Test results will be relayed within six weeks, regardless of result.
A free drop-in Pap test clinic will be returning to St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ont., on May 10.
Five per cent of individuals who attended the clinic in January received abnormal results and are now receiving follow-up care. Based on the demand, Di Cecco and St. Joseph’s hospital are considering doing pop-up clinics every few months to provide these services to those in need.“Screening tests don’t work if you don’t get screened, so it’s one of those things where it’s a simple test, and granted I understand it’s not the most comfortable test to get done,” Di Cecco says.
“There’s such an overrun of people looking for family doctors that it’s become an amount that doctors aren’t able to cover,” Wall says. “With the number of women that need health care, this clinic was a really good idea.” A Pap test, also called a pap smear, is an exam done to look for changes in cervical cells that may later develop into cancer. Cells are taken from the surface of the cervix and sent to a lab to be examined under a microscope.
