Cervical Awareness Month

Cervical Health Awareness Month, observed in January, aims to shed light on the importance of preventing cervical cancer. Each year, over 14,000 women in the United States receive a diagnosis of cervical cancer. Fortunately, this disease is preventable through vaccination and appropriate screening.

Empowered patients are those who are well-informed about the tests and procedures they undergo and understand the reasons behind them. Understanding Cervical Cancer Prevention is a resource designed to demystify the process, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to engage with your healthcare team, ask pertinent questions, and advocate for your own health and well-being.

At Bay Area Community Health, we offer information on preventive measures, including vaccination and proper screening. If you wish to schedule an appointment for screening or vaccination, please call us at 510.770.8040 or 408.729.9700.
