• 1 in 5 children experiences a mental health condition each year
• Nearly 50% of mental health disorders begin before age 14

Cervical cancer is largely preventable — yet in the U.S. in 2026:
-13,490 new cases are expected to be diagnosed. “American Cancer Society”
-4,200 deaths are projected from cervical cancer this year alone. “AACR”
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), and vaccines + regular screening can stop it before it starts.

On February 1 we showed up. We spoke up. We stood up for 340B.
Health centers. Patient access. Life-saving care.
💙 340B saves lives — and we’re not backing down.

Community Health Centers rely on the 340B program to stretch scarce resources, expand services, and ensure patients can access affordable medications.
H.R. 7391 helps protect health centers from harmful 340B rebate proposals that could reduce access to care for the communities who need it most.
Thank you for meeting with us today. We appreciate your leadership and respectfully ask you to co-sponsor H.R. 7391.

🎗️ Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. — and nearly 4 in 10 adults have obesity, a major cancer risk factor.
While not all cancers are preventable, healthy habits matter. Diets low in saturated fat, added sugar, salt, alcohol, and processed meats — and rich in fruits and vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and berries — can help lower cancer risk.
Regular physical activity also plays a role in reducing cancer-related risk factors like high blood pressure and blood sugar.
🏥 Community Health Centers (CHCs) help patients take these preventive steps every day through nutrition education, wellness programs, and access to care.
