September is National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. In accordance with the need to raise awareness to these types of cancer, their impact on Alabama, the need for research and improved screening tests, and support for women battling these diseases, a major initiative was established to encourage cities and businesses across the state to participate in "A State of Teal."
In accordance with this campaign, the Honorable Mickey Haddock, Mayor of the City of Florence, will present a proclamation declaring September Ovarian/Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Florence at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, August 18, at 5:00 PM. On hand to accept the proclamation will be Florence resident and GYN cancer survivor, Haley Oglesby.
