Pap tests save lives! That is the motivation behind a free pap test clinic for women of all ages today at St. Joseph's hospital.
The initiative is part of the National Pap Test campaign during Cervical Cancer Awareness Week.
The Public Health Agency of Canada reports 15 per cent of women have never been screened and 30 per cent have not been screened in the last three years.
Between 1300 and 1500 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year and 400 women die from it annually.
Today's clinic is on the 9th floor of the St. Joe's Women's Wellness Centre.
No appointments are needed, but you will need to register in the lobby.
The clinic runs from 8:30 to 11:30 this morning and 1 to 3:30 this afternoon.
