🌼Cervical Health Awareness Month🌼

Louisiana ranks #7 in the nation for cervical cancer deaths, but most cervical cancers are preventable and treatable when caught early.

Cervical cancer doesn’t always show symptoms until it’s advanced, but screenings and vaccines can make all the difference. Regular Pap smears and HPV vaccines help catch changes early — before cancer ever develops.

Our Women’s Wellness Program provides compassionate care and services to help you stay informed and healthy, including gynecological exams and screening tests.

Schedule your wellness visit today — most insurance plans cover annual preventive care! Early detection saves lives.

To learn more visit:

Our women’s wellness visit includes an annual physical examination and preventative healthcare services. During your exam we can also evaluate irregular menstrual periods, menopausal symptoms, hormone issues, and contraception options.
