January is Cervical Health Awareness Month

CERVICAL CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED WITH:

  1. Routine Pap smears
  2. HPV vaccinations
  3. Awareness of risk factors

WHY AWARENESS MATTERS

BIPOC women face higher risks of cervical cancer due to:

  1. Limited access to healthcare
  2. Lack of awareness about prevention options

Breaking down barriers to care can save lives.
