Spotlight on Wellness: Cervical Cancer Awareness

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a perfect time to prioritize women’s health and raise awareness about prevention and early detection. Here are three essential ways to focus on cervical health:

1. Schedule Routine Screenings

Regular Pap smears and HPV tests are essential for early detection of cervical cancer. These screenings can identify abnormal changes in cervical cells before they become cancerous, giving you the best chance for successful treatment

2. Consider HPV Vaccination

The HPV vaccine is a powerful tool in preventing cervical cancer. It’s recommended for preteens, teens, and adults ages 45. Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying updated with this vital immunization

3. Educate and Empower

Knowledge is power! Take time to learn about risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies. Ask your provider about this information. Please share it with friends and family to encourage them to prioritize their health.
