March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Over 50?
The American Cancer Society recommends both men and women at average risk for developing colorectal cancer be screened starting at age 50. Why? Colorectal cancer is highly treatable if caught early! So when is your screening? Take the quiz.
Know someone turning 50?
Send a free cheer card to wish them happy birthday, and to let them know you care by reminding them of the importance of getting a colonoscopy.
Get Educated.
Someone is diagnosed with colorectal cancer every four minutes. Schedule a Mercy health professional to speak with your group or organization to help you understand your risks of colorectal cancer. Learn how to prevent colon cancer by early detection and following screening guidelines.
