"Lead With Action: An Impactful Discussion On Closing the Cervical Cancer Disparity Gap" with Kimberly Williams and Julia Neely

Black women have higher rates of new cervical cancer cases as opposed to other races and ethnicities. With February being Black History Month, we wanted to discuss health disparities amongst black communities and the possible influencing factors. One way to close the gap in the fight against cervical cancer is to make sure our stories are heard. We must continue to talk about HPV, cervical cancer screening and prevention including vaccination, and the stories of those impacted by cervical cancer. Whether through casual conversations with friends or family, questions to our doctors, or quick chats with our children, each conversation can lead to change.

Don’t miss this conversation between Cervivor Podcast host, Joslyn Paguio and her two guests, Kimberly Williams, a cervical cancer survivor and patient advocate for Cervivor, Inc., and Julia Neely, Program Manager for the HPV Cancer Prevention Program through St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to learn more about and to understand these disparities.
