20 Dec Give Yourself a Gift This Holiday Season: A Screening Colonoscopy for Better Health!

• All individuals with an average risk of developing colorectal cancer should start to receive their screening colonoscopy at 45 years of age. Screening is used to look for colorectal cancer before you have any signs or symptoms.
• Currently, almost half of all adults who are eligible have not yet completed their first colonoscopy screening. That means colorectal cancers are being missed in our loved ones and people are getting sick who do not have to.
• Colorectal cancer is the second highest cause of cancer related deaths among women, behind breast cancer and the third highest cause of cancer related deaths among men.
• Is it time for your screening colonoscopy?  Watch this video to learn more.

I want you to spend a long, healthy life with your family and friends. 

Please give yourself a gift this holiday season and speak to your physician about a screening colonoscopy.  

I have had my screening colonoscopy, have you had yours?
