🚫 MYTH: "I feel fine, so I don't need to be screened for cervical cancer."

✅ FACT: Cervical cancer often develops with NO symptoms in its early stages. By the time you feel something, it may already be advanced.

That's what makes screening so powerful: an HPV/Pap test can detect changes before they ever turn into cancer. It takes just a few minutes and could save your life.

👩‍⚕️ Women ages 21–65 should be screened regularly, even if you feel perfectly healthy.

💰 No insurance? You may be eligible for FREE cervical cancer screening through the Alabama Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

Today is HPV Awareness Day — a reminder that we have the power to prevent cervical cancer in our lifetime.

HPV is the virus behind nearly all cervical cancers. The good news? The HPV vaccine prevents the infection that leads to cancer, and it works best when given early, at ages 9–12, before any chance of exposure.

Here's what every parent should know: Ages 9–14: Just 2 doses needed. Ages 15–26: 3 doses recommended. The vaccine is covered by most health insurance plans with no deductible. Children aged 9–18 who have no insurance, are under-insured, have Medicaid, or identify as American or Alaskan Native are eligible for free HPV vaccines through VFC.

This isn't just a vaccine; it's cancer prevention. Talk to your child's doctor or contact your county health department today.

It was just before Christmas when a female patient of the clinic brought homemade goodies to the clinic staff. She said that she had been so sick the week before, and the clinic worked her into the schedule. The Nurse Practitioner gave her a shot and some medication, and she was able to go back to work in just a few days. She told the Clinic Manager when she dropped off the pecan pie, homemade candies, brownies, and fudge that the clinic was more than a blessing to her and others. She said, “I have been coming here for years, and this place is beyond a blessing to me. I don’t remember how I found out about the clinic, but I am just so happy that I have a place to go for my health that I can afford. I just wanted to bing you a little something to show how much I appreciate you all being here.”
