AHH 😱 not the Pap smear!!!
(okay but actually… they’re not bad at all — and they’re super, super important 💖)

In honor of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to answer some common questions because this is something we do not talk about enough. Pap and HPV tests are quick, routine screenings that can catch changes early — when treatment is most effective. Prevention + early detection saves lives. ✨

And reminder 👇
If you do not have insurance and qualify, we’re hosting a FREE breast and cervical cancer screening clinic on Thursday, January 29th!

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨

❌ Oppose HB 1338 — a bill that targets independent abortion providers by excluding them from the definition of charitable organizations, singling them out from hundreds of other NH nonprofits that can benefit from games-of-chance revenue.

This is yet another way to discriminate against abortion providers. Revenue from these charitable gaming programs supports every aspect of the care we provide. If lawmakers can selectively strip these funds from abortion providers today, what’s next? This bill opens the door to restricting funding for any nonprofit based on politics, not public good.

In January, for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to offer a FREE Breast & Cervical Cancer Screening Clinic in partnership with the New Hampshire DHHS Breast & Cervical Cancer Program.

We held a similar free clinic in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re continuing this work now because early detection truly saves lives.

👉 Who this is for: Uninsured individuals age 21-64 years old who qualify for NH’s Breast & Cervical Cancer Program
👉 What’s included: A free annual exam with a breast exam and a Pap/HPV test
👉 When: Thursday, January 29 | Appointments available 1:00–4:00 PM
👉 Where: Equality Health Center, Concord

Cervical cancer is highly preventable with routine screening, and early detection makes a real difference. Each year, about 39 people in New Hampshire are diagnosed with cervical cancer. The New Hampshire Breast & Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) works to reduce mortality by ensuring eligible residents can access early screening.

If you or someone you know may qualify, please help us spread the word. This free clinic could be life-saving for someone in our community.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 💙
This month, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and share information that can save lives. Cervical cancer begins in the cervix and is most often caused by certain types of HPV. When detected early through routine Pap and HPV screenings, it is one of the most preventable cancers. A Pap test is a quick, simple swab of the cervix used to check for early cell changes. At EHC, we offer annual exams with Pap tests in a supportive, compassionate setting. If you are over 21 and do not have health insurance, you may qualify for a free Pap test through our partnership with NH's Breast & Cervical Cancer Program. Early detection saves lives — and access to preventive care matters!
