Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by HPV – and the HPV vaccine is a powerful tool for prevention. The vaccine protects against the highest-risk strains of HPV and can prevent most cervical cancer cases.

HPV vaccination is recommended:

• Starting at ages 9–12 (can begin as early as age 9)
• For teens and young adults through age 26 if not vaccinated earlier
• For some adults ages 27–45, after talking with a medical provider

When paired with routine screening, vaccination helps protect long-term cervical health. If you have questions about the HPV vaccine for yourself or your child, your B*H provider is here to help.

January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind our community that treatment works – and recovery is possible.

At B*H, we believe substance use disorder is a health condition that deserves evidence-based, compassionate care. Through our PILLAR Program (Prevention & Intervention for Life-Long Alternatives and Recovery), B*H provides free, confidential support to Boulder County residents navigating health care matters relating to chronic pain and/or opioid and other substance use disorders.

The PILLAR Program offers short-term case management, care coordination, education, and referrals – meeting people where they are and helping them find a path forward that works for them. Services are available regardless of insurance status, because everyone deserves access to care, dignity, and support.

This month and every month, we stand with individuals and families on the journey toward recovery. If you or someone you love is seeking treatment, know that you are not alone and help is available.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder that early detection can save lives. Cervical cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular screening – including Pap smears and HPV testing – is so important.

General screening guidelines include:
• Ages 21–29: Pap test every 3 years
• Ages 30–65: Screening with one of the following:
– HPV test every 5 years
– HPV/Pap co-test every 5 years
– Pap test every 3 years
• Age 65 and older: Talk with your provider to determine what screening is needed

Routine screening can identify changes before cancer develops, making cervical cancer one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Talk with your provider about what screening schedule is right for you.
