Women's Health Task Force

The overarching focus of the Task Force is preventive health for women.  Our initial focus was on cervical cancer for two main reasons: 1) Cervical cancer is almost always preventable, and 2) The recent introduction of the HPV vaccine has spurred a national dialogue on this disease, giving us the opportunity to educate women and adolescents about screening and HPV vaccination.

The other issues you will find on this site are: heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, breast cancer, obesity, ovarian cancer, sexually transmitted infections, depression/mental health.  We are working on family planning.
