Today we recognize World Cancer Research Day.

Since 2014, cancer has been the second leading cause of death in Florida, after heart disease. While there has been much progress in cancer prevention, screening and treatment, Florida continues to improve our understanding and response to cancer. Data are the foundation of Florida’s steps forward to stop cancer.

🩷 Cervical Screening Awareness Week 🩷

Cervical cancer often has no signs in its early stages—but routine screenings like Pap smears can catch changes early, when they’re easiest to treat.

A few minutes could make all the difference. Don’t wait—call your doctor and schedule your cervical screening today.

Your health is worth it. 💙

Florida Legislators are working to finalize a budget that ELIMINATES funding designated to help qualified Florida women get their cancer screenings.

This cannot stand.
