January is Cervical Health Awareness Month

While NCCC is focused on cervical health and cervical cancer prevention all year long, Cervical Health Awareness Month in January is a time where we want to get as many people involved as we can.  The World Health Organization has a plan for the elimination of cervical cancer through vaccination and screening—we can get there! This January, we encourage you to learn more about cervical health and cervical cancer prevention and take steps to help eliminate this preventable cancer.

Listen to the Cervical Cancer Survivor Series

Across eight episodes of our Sex+Health podcast, we share stories from cervical cancer survivors across the country, touching on topics including diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, as well as advice for others whose lives are impacted by this preventable disease. We also talked to providers in the field to answer questions about screening prevention and treatment. Episodes from the series will be released over four weeks in January. Tune in each Wednesday to hear from NCCC chapter leaders, cervical cancer advocates, and health care providers, all sharing their insight and expertise.

Check in with a Local NCCC Chapter

NCCC volunteer chapter leaders—many of whom are cervical cancer survivors—are passionate about seeking out opportunities to educate people in their local communities. They bring a true passion to help others and have reached thousands of people across this country through their efforts. You can check here to see if you have a local chapter and see what plans the chapter has for January.
