A Message of Empowerment for Children with Alopecia from the Children Alopecia Project: Alopecia is a condition that affects millions of people around the world, causing hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body. While alopecia can be challenging for anyone who experiences it, children with alopecia often face unique challenges. They may feel different from their peers or struggle with self-esteem due to their hair loss. But hereโs the truth: kids can do anything with or without hair. ๐๐ช๐ผHair doesnโt define who you are, what you can achieve or how you contribute to the world. You are unique with your talents, skills, and personality; nothing can change that. Learn how you can support children with this disease at:https://nuvi.me/lwu4vn

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus that can cause cancers later in life. Nearly 42 million people are currently infected with HPV in the United States. About 13 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year.In the U.S., nearly 36,000 people are estimated to be affected by a cancer caused by HPV infection each year. While there is screening for cervical cancer that can detect cancer early, there is no recommended screening for the other cancers caused by HPV infection, like cancers of the back of the throat, a**s, p***s, va**na, or v***a.
HPV vaccination provides safe, effective, and lasting protection against the HPV infections that most commonly cause cancer. Immunize children according to the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Book an appointment today.
