Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be. Island Health is working hard to make screening for colorectal cancer easy for our community members. Stop by on Wednesday, March 12 for our Colon Care Day to learn more ways to give your gut some love! 

When: Wednesday, March 12, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (see what events we have planned below!)
Where: Fidalgo Room at Island Health

11:00 a.m.– 2:00 p.m.: Strollin’ Through the Colon: Check out our huge inflatable Super Colon, pick up your FREE colorectal cancer screening kit (while supplies last) and schedule your screening colonoscopy!
