🤍January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month🤍

Each year, more than 13,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States, yet cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers today.

Pap tests screen for precancerous cells and detect them years before they would develop into cervical cancer, giving you time for prevention options.
HPV tests screen for high-risk HPV infections that are commonly found in cervical cancer.

Call 217-545-8000 to schedule an OB-GYN appointment now to make sure you are current on your annual screenings!
