When was your last cervical cancer screening?

In 2025, 13,360 individuals were diagnosed with cervical cancer and over 4,000 died from the disease. Yet, in most cases, cervical cancer can be prevented.

The Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against cancer-causing HPV strains. Additionally, getting regular HPV and Pap tests can help your doctor catch cancer before it develops or in early stages, when treatment is more effective.

Community health centers make preventative care accessible, offering vaccination and screenings for cervical cancer. Find a health center near you here: https://ow.ly/67fU50XS74Q
