National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) State Chapters to Provide Parents With Educational Forum to Discuss Cervical Cancer and HPV Vaccines
Date:1/15/2008

NCCC provides parents with an education platform to start a dialogue with other parents in their community about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) cervical cancer preventative vaccines.

VAN NUYS, Calif., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) announces the formation of four new chapters nationwide that will enable parents to educate other parents within communities about the cervical cancer HPV preventative vaccines. The newest NCCC state chapters due to open early this year are located in Arizona, Indiana, Illinois and New York.

These state-based NCCC Chapters are focused on helping local women, family members, and caregivers battle the personal issues related to cervical cancer and HPV. An important education option for these new local chapters is the NCCC, "Parents Educating Parents" campaign that will enable parents to present accurate information on the new cancer prevention vaccines during Parent Teacher Association (PTA) meetings at local schools, as well as during local church and temple community meetings.

"It is critically important to encourage women to be advocates for their own reproductive health, which includes cervical cancer screening & prevention," said Shaundra Hall from Glendale, Arizona, a cervical cancer survivor and organizer of the NCCC Chapter in Arizona. "By starting a local NCCC chapter, I believe women can receive more information locally on how to deal with their cancer and communicate a message within their community of cancer prevention with the new vaccines for young women."

"The loss of my daughter, Kim, has devastated my family," said Kathleen Krueger from New London, Wisconsin, who is one of many NCCC member's planning to speak out through the new local NCCC Chapters. "If I knew 10 years ago what I know now about cervical cancer, I would not waste one minute to get my daughter vaccinated. I pray that everybody will do this."
