Free Pap Day Returns
In honor of Women’s Health Week, Free Pap Days will be held throughout the state.
May 11-17 is the 9th annual Women’s Health Week. This is a time for women to empower themselves regarding their health and everyday wellness. In honor of this week, PPIN health centers throughout the state will host a Free Pap Day during the week of May 11.
Pap tests detect certain abnormalities of the cervix including changes that could, in the future, become cancer. Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the world. Ten women die each day because of cervical cancer.
Free Pap Day is aimed to generate awareness of the importance of regular Pap tests and extends access of this basic reproductive health service to those who may not otherwise be able to afford it.
Every woman should have the right to affordable, quality reproductive health care services.
