Marie Savard

Dr Marie Savardis a Philadelphia-based author and speaker on health issues.

In November 2006 Savard was given a 'Presidential Leadership Award' by Susan Crosby, the President of Women in Government. The accompanying media release stated that Savard was being honoured as she "travels the country speaking to women about how to take charge of their own health, particularly when it comes to cervical cancer prevention." Another media release, tailored for the Philadelphia media, stated that Savard's award was for "helping women understand cervical cancer and the virus that causes it, the human papillomavirus (HPV), and encouraging them to seek information about their screening results, as well as ask for advanced screening techniques, such as HPV testing. Dr. Savard has also played a key role in helping state legislators across the country understand this important issue and make it a priority."
