Free Screening Program During Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
HMAA wants to support members in staying healthy by helping with the detection or prevention of colorectal cancer through a non-invasive screening program. Especially now during Cancer Awareness Month, we are promoting preventive screenings for colorectal cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Although it is one of the deadliest forms, colorectal cancer can be cured if caught early. Preventive screenings are key to early detection.
We are making the process easier by offering a free fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit to HMAA members between the ages of 50 and 75 who have not had a colorectal cancer screening within the past 12 months. The test kit screens for possible colorectal cancer by detecting blood in your stool. You will not have to change your diet, fast, or make changes to your medications before completing the test. You take the test at home and send it to the processing lab. The lab will send your results directly to you, and we recommend that you discuss your results with your physician.
If you meet the eligibility requirements and would like to receive a free FIT kit, submit your request online at hmaa.com/wellness through March 31, 2017.
