Did you know colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer? Screening can detect it before it develops, and before there are symptoms. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

If you're ages 50-74 talk to a health care provider about screening today.

Most people can screen with an easy at-home test (F***l Immunochemical Test or FIT).

Prevention is better than cure.

Cervix self-screening allows you to screen for cervical cancer wherever you feel comfortable, like at home or your local clinic.

The vaginal swab looks for HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer. It's as accurate as a provider taken sample.

Included in the kit: easy to follow instructions, swab, plastic bag for completed sample, pre-paid return envelope.
