March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer did not stop because COVID-19 started.

• Colorectal cancer screening can save your life. Now is the time to get screened. Take control of your health. Know your own risk and get checked now.

• If you are currently experiencing symptoms, such as rectal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, or a change in bowel habits, contact your doctor today.

• All men and women without a family history of colorectal cancer should begin colorectal cancer screenings at age 45. If you have certain risk factors, you may need to be screened earlier than 45.
