March is Colorectal Awareness Month. 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 members of our community. Island Primary Care – Orcas is hosting a Colon Care Day on Wednesday, March 27th.

Stop by the clinic between 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. to pick up your free colorectal cancer screening kit along with information on ways you can show your colon some love.
