Chapter Leader Juana Reyes’ Story

My name is Juana Reyes. I was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer in 2016. I was 33 years old and has just given birth to my newborn baby when I found out I had cancer. But this didn’t stop me from fighting. I knew God had a purpose for my life.

I started to work as a cervical cancer advocate in my community. I also work with the University of Texas and their program the Houston PAP Project that offers monthly free screenings and follow up if necessary. 

I’m so grateful that NCCC has given me an opportunity to be a part of an amazing organization that allows me to share my story, give hope and raise awareness.            

The Houston Chapter at Work in the Community

From attending a back-to-school event to remind families about the importance of HPV vaccination to prevent cancer to serving as the project coordinator for the Houston PAP Project, offering free cervical cancer screenings to a predominantly Spanish-speaking population with limited health care access, chapter leader Juana Reyes stays active in her community.
