Are you at risk for colon cancer?

Free Screenings Available this March

Colon and rectal cancer are a leading cause of cancer death for men and women despite being one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Regular screening should start at age 45 or sooner with family history of cancer or other risk factors.

During Colon Cancer Awareness month (March), people who are age 45 or older can receive a free immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) Take-Home Colon Screening kit.

Pick-up sites:

• Drive-up window at CentraCare Pharmacy at St. Cloud Hospital
• CentraCare - Long Prairie Clinic Information Desk
• CentraCare - Baxter Specialty Clinic Registration
• Or call 320-229-5100 to schedule a kit pickup from Coborn Healing Center, located at CentraCare Plaza.

Kits are limited and you must be present to pick up your kit. The iFOBT screening does not replace a colonoscopy, which is the best method to detect colorectal cancer. To schedule your colonoscopy, contact your primary care provider.

Print and complete the consent form and drop it off at one of the pick-up sites to receive a free kit.

For more information, call 320-229-5199, ext. 70857.
