Women's imaging vendor Hologic said that it's expanding its Promise to Me women's health initiative.

In honor of National Cervical Health Awareness Month, Hologic is partnering with the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) to fund cervical cancer screening for women in need, according to the Bedford, MA-based vendor. For every person who makes the promise to take care of their health and passes it on through the Promise to Me Web site, Hologic said it would donate $1 toward preventative screening for underinsured and uninsured women.
