I had a scare during my last doctor visit and had to get a colposcopy to determine if my abnormal cells were cancerous. I’m lucky this is something we caught early and that I’m able to continue monitoring it. Something as simple as this screening could save YOUR life.

Recent guideline changes could reduce access to the Pap, which would leave thousands of women vulnerable. I believe everyone has the right to health & to be regularly screened for preventable diseases.
