Operation Wipe Out: Preventing Cervical Cancer In Alabama with Isabel Scarinci
Cervical cancer is one type of cancer we already have the tools to prevent and detect early. So why are women in Alabama still being diagnosed with it? In this episode of Mo Show Live, I'm talking with Isabel Scarinci, PhD, a professor at UAB and one of the leaders behind Operation Wipe Out. Operation Wipe Out brings together healthcare providers, public health organizations, Rotary clubs, community leaders, and others with one goal: eliminating cervical cancer in Alabama. We cover: How cervical cancer can be prevented Why boys and girls are both recommended to receive the HPV vaccine Why some Alabama counties continue to see high rates of cervical cancer How Alabama became the first state to plan to eliminate cervical cancer How community leaders can help get health information to people who need it What Operation Wipe Out is doing to support communities across Alabama Mentioned: https://operationwipeout.org
