Have you heard of at-home HPV testing? New FDA-approved self-collection tests will help expand access to cervical cancer screening—especially for people who live in rural areas or have difficulty getting to in-person appointments.

NOTE: Some people should still be screened in-office. Check with your provider first.

Here's some true comfort and joy for Christmas!! 🎁

A family member of a former patient recently donated some comfort bags for staff on Wilmot Cancer Center's Seventh Floor (WCC7) to hand out to patients. How kind!

Two Wilmot Cancer Institute went the extra mile to brighten spirits this holiday season! 🎶🎄

Andrew Barbour and Emily Luna, both nurses on Wilmot Cancer Center's Sixth Floor, came in on their day off to play holiday songs for patients and staff on the unit. Both have played their instruments since elementary school, and Andrew even earned degrees in music.

It's inspiring to see them share the joy of music with others, especially patients who may be in the hospital around the holidays. Turn the sound up and enjoy the music! 🔈
