NVHA Pap Awareness Clinic

This is a valuable test to help us detect cervical cancer early. The best time to have this done is between days 10-14 of your cycle (this is counting the first day of  menstruation as day 1). 

If by chance you no longer have a menstrual cycle, you can come in at anytime  during the month. Please contact our clinic at 250-633-5000 to book an appointment with Connie or Barb.

Thank you so much and we look forward to keeping you healthy and happy!

A total of 84 Women of all ages, from grade 11 and 12 all the way to elders, attended these sessions.

 

Guided by the conference theme ‘if we heal our women, we can begin to heal our Nation”, the workshop promoted and encouraged:

  • Group healing
  • Individual Healing
  • Confidence Building
  • Tools for individuals to help themselves process trauma
  • Psychology and Vision
  • Emotional Healing

 

One of the intentions of this event is to explore fundraising to hold a similar future workshop to be hosted in Gitlaxt’aamiks.
