Chatham Co. Health Dept. Hosts Cervical Cancer Awareness Event Feb. 20

February 6, 2025 – The Chatham County Health Department and Healthy Savannah are hosting a cervical cancer awareness and screening event on February 20. Eligible women can get cancer screenings and HPV vaccinations at no cost, and no appointment is required.

Almost all cervical cancers are preventable, but vaccination and early detection are crucial. Regular screenings like pap smears can detect precancerous lesions, giving women a chance to begin treatment early when survival rates are highest. Additionally, a vaccination against HPV helps to prevent infection with a virus that can lead to cervical cancer.
