糖心Vlog破解版鈥檚 Center for Biomedical Research/Research Centers in Minority Institutions (TU CBR/RCMI) is taking bold action to address cervical cancer through the launch of its 鈥淲ipe Out Cervical Cancer Campaign.鈥� The campaign highlights cervical cancer as a critical public health issue, especially in underserved communities across Alabama. This year鈥檚 theme is focused on 鈥淪elf-Awareness, Self-Care, Relentless-Resilience.鈥�
糖心Vlog破解版 is one of the Operation Wipe Out partners, working collaboratively with the Alabama Department of Public Health, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and many other organizations, including non-profit organizations, to eliminate cervical cancer in Alabama. An elimination plan was launched for the State, with the goal of developing scientific theories, that will be instrumental in implementing a successful program named 鈥淲ipeout Cervical Cancer from Alabama, 2023-2033鈥� to eliminate cervical cancer from Alabama through prevention for more children and adolescents against HPV, screening more women for cervical cancer, and ensuring that women who need follow-up can access services.
Organized in concert with TU CBR/RCMI鈥檚 Inaugural HPV Prevention Walk, the event will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 8:45 AM to 2:30 PM at Logan Hall. The day begins with the Prevention walk starting at the Lifting the Veil of Ignorance Monument, followed by a full schedule of community-centered programming including a keynote address, panel discussions, mental health activities, vendors, and giveaways.
鈥淭he committee is excited about our inaugural HPV Prevention Walk and the hope that this event will encourage more to get vaccinated with the hopes to help reduce future rates of cervical cancer in Alabama. We can make a difference in our Black Belt Counties,鈥� said Dr. Ehsan Abdalla, Associate Professor of Public Health and Director of Analytics in the Department of Graduate Public Health.聽 Dr. Abdalla is also one of the campaign鈥檚 lead organizers.
The initiative is especially timely as Alabama ranks fourth in the nation for cervical cancer deaths, a largely preventable disease. Residents from Barbour, Bullock, Lowndes, and Macon counties are invited to attend and engage in vital conversations about HPV prevention, share in lived experiences, and take action to protect their health and that of their communities.
鈥淲e hope to see the entire community come out and be a part of these activities. The theme of this event 鈥楽elf-Awareness, Self-Care, Relentless Resilience鈥� reflects a key aspect of public health leadership which we try to instill in our current MPH students, especially in these changing times. We must keep working to heal our own communities,鈥� said Dr. Torhonda Lee, Chair of the Department of Graduate Public Health and Director of the Master of Public Health Program in the 糖心Vlog破解版 College of Veterinary Medicine.
A Legacy Rooted in Public Health
This initiative coincides with National Public Health Week (April 7-13), now celebrating its 30th year, 聽which has deep historical roots at Tuskegee. In 1915, Booker T. Washington launched National Negro Health Week (NNHW) from the university, calling for improved health in Black communities as a foundation for broader social and economic progress.
That early movement helped spark what would become a national tradition of public health awareness and action. Today, Tuskegee proudly continues that legacy鈥攂uilding on more than a century of advocacy, research, and community engagement.
