How you can help prevent colon cancer

MarchColonCancer

Preventable. Treatable. Beatable.

Each year nearly 137,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, often referred to as colon cancer, in the U.S. and over 50,000 people die from it annually. The disease, however, is largely preventable with regular screening and is treatable with early detection.

At His Branches Health Services we take this challenge seriously, keeping track of each patient in our practice carefully in our electronic medical record and reminding people when they are due for screening.

If you are over 50 or have a family history of colorectal cancer and haven’t been screened, call us today to make an appointment to talk to your doctor about what you should do. Screening saves lives. In the meantime, click here for more information.
