Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month: The Importance of Screening

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to highlight the value of preventive screenings and early detection.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, but it is also one of the most preventable when detected early. Health experts recommend that most adults begin screening at age 45, or earlier if there are additional risk factors.

Screening methods may include:

• Colonoscopy
• Stool-based screening tests
• Other tests recommended by your healthcare provider

Regular screenings allow healthcare providers to identify potential issues before symptoms develop, significantly improving treatment outcomes.

Flu, COVID, RSV: What’s Still Going Around This Winter?

Winter isn’t over yet, and many people are still dealing with lingering coughs, congestion, and fatigue. Right now, we’re seeing flu, COVID, RSV, and common respiratory viruses circulating at the same time.

While many illnesses resolve on their own, it’s important to see a provider if you experience:

Fever lasting more than a few days

Shortness of breath

Chest pain

Worsening symptoms after initial improvement

A quick visit can help rule out complications and prevent a mild illness from becoming something more serious. If you’re unsure whether you should be seen, your primary care clinic is often the best first stop before urgent care or the ER.
