Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S.—but the good news is it’s highly preventable and treatable when detected early.

Most adults should begin regular screening at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history or other risk factors. Screening options include:
✔️ At-home stool tests (FIT) – easy, noninvasive, and done once a year

Bone health screenings, such as bone density scans, can help identify risks early. Chinese Hospital and Clinics offers specialty care and guidance to support your bone health at every stage of life.

Strong bones are essential for movement, balance, and overall health. They protect vital organs and store important minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
