Colonoscopies are a critical tool in screening for colon cancer. By helping us detect and treat cancer early, colonoscopies can give us many more smiles, hugs, and memories with those we love!

Most people should receive their first colonoscopy around age 45 and repeat the procedure early 10 years, but if you have a family history of IBD, you might need to schedule colonoscopies earlier and more often.

Call our gastroenterology team to schedule at 762-356-4785!

Today marks the start of HPV Prevention Week, a time to spread awareness about Human papillomavirus (HPV) and how you can prevent it!

As University Cancer & Blood Center medical oncologist Dr. Aaron Chang explains, HPV is the strongest risk factor for head and neck cancers.

The good news? HPV is potentially preventable with vaccinations! By receiving the HPV vaccine, you can significantly lower your risk of developing an HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.

While the HPV vaccine is most effective in children and young adults, there are significant benefits to receiving it in your mid-20s, and some adults may even benefit from receiving the vaccine into their mid-40s.

We recommend discussing the HPV vaccine with your University Health Alliance primary care provider to see if it's right for you at your age!

January is Thyroid Awareness Month! The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland situated at the front of the neck, just below the skin. It plays an important role in the endocrine system, which releases hormones that help to maintain many of your body’s functions.

If you're dealing with an over- or underactive thryoid, you may experience mysterious symptoms, including:

▶️ Difficulty sleeping
▶️ Fatigue
▶️ Anxiety or irritability
▶️ Weight loss or gain
▶️ Changes in your hair’s texture
▶️ Changes to your voice
▶️ Forgetfulness
▶️ Vision problems
▶️ Feeling sensitive to heat or cold temperatures
▶️ Changes in menstrual periods

Our primary care providers are here to help! Call 762-356-4933 to schedule an appointment with our primary care providers, and learn more about the signs of a thyroid issue here: https://bit.ly/3JcBZmH.
