Cervical Health Awareness Month
January 1, 2022 @ 8:00 am - January 31, 2022 @ 5:00 pm UTC+0
What is Cervical Health Awareness Month?
The United States Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. More than 13,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, a fact made all the more frustrating because disease is virtually always preventable with vaccination and appropriate screening (Pap and HPV tests).
During January the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), a program of ASHA, works with its many chapters across the country to highlight issues related to cervical cancer, HPV disease and the importance of early detection and prevention.
