We love this campaign, partly because it's been created and executed so well. But mostly because preventing cancer with an HPV vaccine is such an amazing thing. 2-3 doses and a person is immunized against many types of cancer, including many head and neck cancers.
Did you know the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can help prevent nearly all HPV-related genital, head and neck cancers? It’s the reason kids should get the vaccine young, and it’s the reason Nevada Cancer Coalition recently called on us to help get the word out. The HPV campaign targeted parents in rural communities, educating them on the dangers of HPV and empowering them to protect their children from future cancer.🎗️ Check out our website to see how it turned out.

NCC was once called the "gold standard for reporting" by our state partners. We do a great job at reporting so our state partners can evaluate the progress. Want to learn more about evaluating programs from one of our own (who also worked at the state)? It's Lily! Check out the August session of the Building Capacity Workshop Series from our friends at the Nevada Minority Health & Equity Coalition.

This is great news for the millions of Americans who depend on ACA-guaranteed insurance coverage to ensure access to cancer prevention and screening services. We cannot emphasize enough how important removing cost barriers is to cancer early detection access.
