Breaking the Silence on Cervical Health: Awareness Saves Lives
January marks Cervical Health Awareness Month, an initiative recognized by the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), a program of the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA). The goal is to bring attention to the importance of early detection and prevention of cervical cancer through routine screening, vaccination, and open discussions about sexual health.
Cervical cancer remains a significant health concern, with nearly 14,000 women in the U.S. diagnosed annually and over 4,300 losing their lives to the disease. “Early detection starts with a conversation,” said Dr. Wanda Wilburn, a Barstow Obstetrician and Gynecologist. “We want to empower women with the resources and care they need to protect their health.”
