GO Teal And White Campaign To Raise Awareness About Cervical Cancer
By Carol McPhail, USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute
USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute has launched a statewide campaign called “GO Teal and White” to raise awareness about how to prevent cervical cancer, which kills women in Alabama at a higher rate than any other state in the nation. The campaign will run throughout January, Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.
“Our goal is to get the word out to prevent cervical cancer by vaccination, paps and follow-up testing,” said Dr. Jennifer Young Pierce, lead of Cancer Control and Prevention at the Mitchell Cancer Institute.
The campaign calls on businesses, nonprofit organizations and supporters to hang GO Teal and White posters during January and to wear teal and white on Wednesday, Jan. 16. The RSA Towers will be lit in teal and white on Jan. 16 in Montgomery and Jan. 17 in Mobile.
