Colon Cancer Awareness

45 Is The New 50

It’s Time to Fight Back

Did you know that colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in Nebraska? Colorectal cancer can be caught early or even prevented through regular screening. Most people should begin screening at age 45.

There are simple, affordable screening options that can be done at home. JCH&L offers colonoscopies performed by Gastroenterology Specialists PC, who visit JCH&L outpatient services on a monthly basis.

Talk to your primary care provider about which option is right for you — and ask which tests are covered by your health insurance. Call 402-729-3361 to make an appointment.
