Previously known as the Women’s Health Campaign, Operation Reproductive Health is focused on student pharmacists reaching out to their communities to provide health and wellness services focused on improving cancer prevention through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and improving reproductive and sexual health education. Through public awareness, community outreach, and patient-specific education on reproductive health and cancer prevention strategies, chapters have the ability to empower more patients to take control of their reproductive health.
Goals of the Operation Reproductive Health:
- Increase student pharmacist awareness of the need for sexual and reproductive health education and opportunities for student pharmacist-led programming in the community
- Provide education on the HPV vaccine and increase understanding of the HPV vaccine use in cancer prevention
- Provide education on reproductive health, including prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, hormonal contraceptive options, and access to hormonal contraceptives
- Promote the profession of pharmacy and the role of pharmacists as a resource on these topics
