Join us at Quincy’s Kroc Center on Tuesday, April 9, between 4 and 7 pm.

Take charge of your health by visiting the Blessing Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois free Colorectal Cancer Awareness and Wellness Event.

This No-Cost Community Event Includes:

  • Screenings
  • Presentation by Lori George, NP - 5:00 PM
  • Inflatable Mega Colon
  • Giveaways

 

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death. That’s because only about 40 percent of cases are caught in the earliest stage, when the survival rate is 90 percent.

The Awareness and Wellness Event will feature a short presentation on colon health at 5 pm, display of a mega inflatable colon to help you get a better understanding about how this vital organ works, and no-cost screenings for other health issues, including A1C testing to measure blood sugar.
