March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and this year the message is more important than ever.

For decades, many people believed Colorectal Cancer was mainly a disease affecting older adults. But that’s changing. Today, colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death in people under 50 in the United States, and rates among younger adults have been rising for years.

What makes this especially concerning is that many people don’t notice symptoms early on. By the time signs appear, the disease may already be advanced.

🚨 Warning signs to pay attention to can include:
• Blood in the stool
• Ongoing stomach pain or discomfort
• Changes in bowel habits
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

The good news? Screening can help prevent colon cancer or catch it early, when it’s most treatable.

👤 Who should get screened?
Adults age 45 and older should talk with their provider about colorectal cancer screening options.

📍 Our providers can help you choose the screening option that’s right for you. A simple conversation could make a life-saving difference.

✔️ If you’re 45 or older, ask your provider about colorectal cancer screening at your next visit.

Early detection saves lives.
Prevention starts with screening. 🩺

ER or Primary Care? Knowing where to go can save you time and money. ⏱️💰

For most everyday health concerns, your primary care provider is the better first stop. P*P visits are usually quicker, far less expensive than an ER visit, and focused on you, not just the problem of the moment.

At your P*P visit, we can:
• Take time to review your full health history
• Manage ongoing conditions instead of just treating symptoms
• Coordinate labs, medications, and follow-up care
• Help prevent small issues from turning into emergencies

🚑 Emergency rooms are essential for life-threatening situations, but for routine care, your P*P is designed to give you personalized, thoughtful care without the long wait or high bill.

When it’s not an emergency, start with primary care. Your health (and your wallet) will thank you. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️
