Week #3: ๐ Know the Signs. Donโt Ignore the Symptoms. ๐
Early cervical cancer often has no symptoms โ which is why regular screening is so important.
But as cervical cancer develops, there are warning signs you should never ignore:
โ ๏ธ Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after sex, or after menopause)
โ ๏ธ Unusual vaginal discharge (watery, bloody, or foul-smelling)
โ ๏ธ Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse
โ ๏ธ Pain during urination
โ ๏ธ Increased frequency of urination
โ ๏ธ Persistent back, leg, or pelvic pain
These symptoms can be caused by other conditions and do not automatically mean cancer โ but they should always be checked by a healthcare provider.
The earlier cervical cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. ๐
If you notice any of these symptoms, donโt wait.
๐ Call Santee Health & Wellness Center at 402-857-2300

Week 1: ๐ง โจ Your Brain Is the BOSS! โจ๐ง
Parents & Caregivers โ letโs talk about the amazing organ that runs the whole show!
Your childโs brain controls their breathing ๐จ, tells their heart to beat โค๏ธ, helps them think and learn ๐, and lets them move and play ๐โโ๏ธ๐ โ all day, every day!
Did you know the brain has billions of tiny cells called neurons sending messages nonstop? โก Thatโs some serious superpower energy!
Take a few minutes to review this flyer together and try this fun activity:
๐ Have your child point to their head and say, โThank you, brain!โ ๐
๐ Ask: What did your brain help you do today? Post your answer below!
๐ Talk about wearing helmets and protecting that powerful brain! ๐ช
When kids understand how their brain works, theyโre more likely to take care of it โ with good sleep, healthy foods, learning, and safe choices. ๐
Letโs raise strong thinkers, safe movers, and healthy leaders!
