💛 May is Hepatitis Awareness Month 💛
Your Family Planning Team is committed to helping our community stay informed, protected, and proactive about liver health. Hepatitis can affect anyone — and early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent long term complications.
🩺 What is hepatitis? Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, often caused by viruses like Hepatitis A, B, and C. Some forms spread through contaminated food or water, while others spread through blood or bodily fluids. Many people don’t experience symptoms until the disease has progressed, which makes screening essential.
✨ Why awareness matters:
• Hepatitis B and C can become chronic without early treatment
• Many people don’t know they’re infected
• Early testing can prevent serious liver damage
• Vaccines are available for Hepatitis A and B
• Treatment options today are more effective than ever
🧪 Our Family Planning Clinic offers:
• Hepatitis screenings
• Vaccinations (Hep A & Hep B)
• Education on prevention and transmission
• Confidential testing and counseling • Referrals for follow up care when needed
Your liver health is a vital part of your overall well being. This month — and always — we encourage you to stay informed, get tested, and take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones.
💛 Your health matters. Your prevention matters. You matter. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
