MARCH IS NATIONAL COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH | |
Colorectal Cancer Screening can save your life.
Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the colon or rectum, it is called colorectal cancer. Sometimes it is called colon cancer, for short.
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. The goal of this national health observance is to increase awareness that colorectal cancer is largely preventable, treatable, and beatable.
| NATIONAL HEALTHCARE DECISIONS DAY (NHDD) IS ON APRIL 16, 2023 | |
YOUR DECISIONS MATTER
Americans across the country are making their future healthcare decisions are known to their family, friends, and healthcare providers.
National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD) exists to inspire, educate and empower the public and providers about the importance of advanced care planning. No matter your age, completing an Advance Directive and telling your family about your wishes is important. Even if you have one in place, things can change, so it’s a good time to dust it off and review it. This is an important step for young adults too.
