January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
All women are at risk for cervical cancer. It occurs most often in women over age 30. Long-lasting infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer.
Screening tests and the HPV vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer. When cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and associated with long survival and good quality of life.

We promote awareness and advocacy at the local level while creating partnerships, collaborating and building bridges between our county providers and programs.

We provide resources within our focus areas of Health, Education, Addiction & Recovery Support, for those struggling with addiction and their family members. We work to build bridges between organizations that provide services for people either in active addiction or in recovery from substance use.
