In recognition of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, Grand Forks Public Health (GFPH) is urging community members to prioritize their health by participating in cervical cancer screenings and checking their HPV statuses. Throughout January, GFPH is hosting a series of events aimed at educating the public about the importance of early detection and prevention.
Cervical cancer is a significant health concern, but regular screenings can lead to early intervention and better outcomes. The initiative encourages individuals, particularly those at higher risk, to take advantage of available resources and services. Health professionals will be on hand to provide information, answer questions, and facilitate screenings.
GFPH emphasizes that awareness and education are key components in the fight against cervical cancer. By promoting testing and vaccination against HPV, the organization hopes to reduce the incidence of this preventable disease. Community members are encouraged to take action for their health and participate in these vital screenings this month.
