September is Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month! Join us as Dr. Erin Stevens of Prevea Health presents “Everything You Need to Know About Down There.”
Gynecologic cancer awareness month is recognized each year in September and is a perfect time to learn more about cancers related to women. Come join Erin Stevens, MD, Gynecologist Oncologist at Prevea Health, as she covers topics from changes that happen after menopause, issues with the sudden need to urinate and what could be causing that itching, burning feeling (hint, it’s probably not a yeast infection!). Plus, she’ll cover what cancer screening tests are recommended, what you can do to decrease your risk of developing gynecologic cancers and whether or not you should still be getting a pelvic exam as you get older.
This event is free and open to the public (members and non-members). Donations are always appreciated!
