World Cancer Day, observed annually on February 4, is a global initiative to raise awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. It unites communities worldwide to take action against one of the leading causes of death.
Cancer impacts millions of people each year, yet many cases can be prevented or treated through timely screenings and healthy lifestyle choices. This day serves as a reminder to schedule regular checkups, learn the warning signs, and support those affected by the disease.
As part of our mission to lead the communities we serve to become among the healthiest in the nation, St. Elizabeth will cohost a World Cancer Day Screening event with the Kentucky Cancer Program, Kenton County Public Library, Cancer Support Community and the Northern Kentucky Health Department on Wednesday, February 4, from 1–3 p.m. at the Latonia Branch of the Kenton County Public Library.
Those who come to World Cancer Day can:
Those interested in mammography appointments should schedule with the St. Elizabeth Mobile Mammography van which will be at the event. Pre-schedule a Mammography appointment on your MyChart or by calling (859) 655-7400.
