Healthy Savannah Seeks Participants for Sep. 26 Training to Increase Awareness of HPV Vaccine in Preventing Certain Cancers

September 23, 2024 – Healthy Savannah is seeking to train up to 18 community health advocates (CHAs) to promote awareness and acceptance of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.

The online CHA training will be offered at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sep. 26. It follows a listening session held at Savannah State University (SSU) on Sep. 12, at which Healthy Savannah introduced the CHA program to a group of 14 students.

“I had no idea that among Black women, cervical cancer mortality rates are almost one and a half times as high as in White women with cervical cancer,” said Keyonie Collier, one of the student attendees. “We need to make sure more college-aged Black women hear this message.”
