September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. We want to bring awareness to cancers that affect the female reproductive system—cervix, ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. All women are at risk and it's important to make it a priority to schedule regular well-woman exams and pap smears. Share this to raise awareness in your community. If you or a loved one needs cancer care, please reach out. Contact us today: https://lnkd.in/g7H5Xhwk #cancercare #ocsri
