In honor of Valentine’s Day, Barnard’s Health and Wellness team is proud to present free bagels and pap schmears for all Barnardians. Organizers hope that the event will bring awareness to women’s health on a day when sex is on the top of everyone’s minds and women’s rights to healthcare is typically disregarded. Barnard believes that Valentine’s Day is a time to spread love and sexual health awareness, not HPV. In an exclusive interview with the Wellness leader responsible for this event, Dr. Catallozzi shared that the Barnard Wellness Center has partnered up with the beloved, though shuttered, Absolute Bagels that closed just months ago.
With this collaboration, leaders at Absolute are given a second chance, but with one minor promise. Going forward, with every bagel bought, female-identifying customers will receive a free pap smear from the head baker. This includes the female-identifying rats that live in the facility, as they will be guaranteed free healthcare as well. Thankfully, this is exactly what the Christian martyr and clergyman, Saint Valentine, would have wanted.
