Our Daughters, Our Duty

What is more important than the health of our children?
We have many options to reduce the risk of cancer from a healthier diet to prevention therapies. The more information we know about individual cancers, the better we can help ourselves and our children.
 
Community Engagement Centering on Solutions (CECOS) and Richard J. Daley College are offering you an opportunity to learn more about cervical cancer, and its threat to the women of our community. (CECOS is a program of the University of Chicago Cancer Research Center.)

 

Join us on Saturday, November 7 at Richard Daley College from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Dr. Rick Kittles, Associate Director for Diversity and Community Outreach, and Dr. Kenneth Alexander, noted HPV researcher and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago, will help us understand the role of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in cancer and how we can protect our families and friends.

 
The town hall meeting will include discussion of a new vaccine that is effective in preventing cervical cancer. HPV causes more than 99% of all cervical cancers and 100% of genital warts. The vaccine is effective for the types of viruses that cause 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts.

 

We recognize that some people have concerns about the vaccine, and we wish to address these issues together in a thoughtful exchange of ideas.
 
Please come to our town hall meeting for invaluable information, lively discussion, and refreshments.

Fathers Encouraged to Take Children to School on Tuesday, September 8, 2009

Fathers are encouraged to take their children to school on Tuesday, September 8, 2009.  If you can.

Check out this story left by a father who would love to take his son to school, but can’t.  This comment was left on August 28, 2009.

“I would love to walk my son to school on the first day of school, but an angry ex and a biased family court judge blocked my path. It’s too bad too many American judges think children only need dads every other weekend. There are probably lots of dads that voluntarily walked away, but when judges only give dads limited visitation in over 90 percent of all contested custody cases, that absence isn’t voluntary.”

Fathers, if you can take your children to work, please do.
