Our Surgery Department was busy delivering TP wrapped with a message, declaring a Wear Blue Day, hosting a Bottoms Up!: Mocktail Bar, and gifting a healthy digestion basket this March! Their goal was to spread the word about the importance of Colon Cancer screenings and early detection. And honestly, mission accomplished. 😎

The bottom line? If you are 45 or older, it’s time for a colonoscopy. Having a family history or experiencing symptoms (unexplained changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, persistent abdominal pain, fatigue, etc.), can lead to earlier screenings.

To schedule your appointment, call (641) 464-4433 today— no referral is needed!
