“Colorectal cancer is common and preventable,” says James H. Tabibian, MD, PhD, FACP, Interventional Gastroenterology. “Most adults at average risk should begin screening at age 45, but those with higher risk factors, such as inflammatory bowel disease, family history, or certain genetic syndromes, may need to start earlier.”

Colonoscopy is the gold standard, but screening should be personalized.

Access to care looks different in every community — and we’re working to ensure federal leaders understand what that means in rural Central California.

This week, we welcomed United States Department of Health and Human Services Regional Director of the West, Victoria Seaman, to Adventist Health Selma. She met with members of our leadership team as well as Adventist Health President and CEO Kerry L. Heinrich and Public Affairs and Community Impact Executive Julia Drefke.

We shared how Adventist Health is expanding access to care in rural communities by strengthening our workforce and investing in services closer to home, while addressing challenges faced by Medicare and Medicaid patients across the region.

These conversations help bring greater awareness to the needs of rural communities and reinforce our commitment to providing whole-person care, close to home.
