Take the Pledge!

Join the movement to prevent cervical cancer!

Cervical cancer is one of few cancers preventable through screening and HPV vaccines. In the U.S., cervical cancer rates have decreased by more than half due to increased screening with Pap tests (Source: American Cancer Society).

However, the rates of people who are overdue for cervical cancer screening has increased.

Pap smears/tests are a great way to routinely screen for cervical cancer and prevent it before it even starts!

Getting regular Pap smears can:

• Give you peace of mind by taking proactive steps to protect your health

• Greatly reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer through early detection and treatment of precancerous changes

• Help you practice preventive care aligned with public health recommendations for your age and circumstances

Join your BSPH community and take the pledge to talk to your provider about Pap smears and take control of your health!
