Hi dear members! Are you ready for this week’s round of good news? Let’s dive in!

🩺 At-Home Cervical Screening Milestone​

For the first time ever, women in the US can now screen for cervical cancer from the comfort of home.

The Teal Wand, recently approved by the FDA, allows women aged 25 to 65 to collect their own sample safely and easily.

The test is just as accurate as one done at a clinic, and helps detect early signs of cervical cancer caused by HPV.

The makers say it’s a step toward making health care more comfortable and accessible.

Self-collection has been an option in Australia since 2022, so it’s great to see it becoming more widely accessible.


👔 Free Dry Cleaning for Job Seekers​

A generous dry cleaner is giving away free services to help unemployed people look their best for job interviews.

Owner Ali Shirkhodaei cleans and presses outfits at no cost for anyone looking for work.

His only ask? Pay the kindness forward.

Ali’s shop sees up to 10 people a week who take him up on the offer, and he says it brings him ‘so much joy’ to help people feel confident.
