WVON: Cervical Cancer Awareness
Monday, January 5, 2026
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and you can still listen to WVON 1690 AM’s “Dr. in the House with Dr. Terry Mason,” when his guest was University of Illinois Cancer Center member Hunter Holt, MD, MAS, a board-certified family medicine physician at UI Health, who focuses on researching and implementing solutions that improve patient experiences and health outcomes related to reproductive health and cervical cancer prevention.
Karriem Watson, DHSc, MS, MPH, Executive Director of the UI Health Mile Square Health Center, moderated the group discussion on cervical health, risk factors, cervical cancer screening and research.
The first Sunday of each month features the Cancer Center and Mile Square segment on WVON, where guests discuss cancer research and care, as well as general healthcare and services provided at UI Health, which includes Mile Square and the Cancer Center. UI Health is the academic health system at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC).
