Legacy Promotes Colon Health
The public is invited to Legacy
Emanuel Medical Center on Friday,
March 30 to learn more about col-
orectal health by walking through
a giant inflatable colon that shows
how polyps can turn into cancer.
The 12-foot-long display shows
the difference between a healthy co-
lon and one with polyps. There will
be information available on preven-
tative screenings, such as colonosco-
pies and other ways to stay healthy.
The event will take place between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the hospital’s
Atrium at 2801 N. Gantenbein.
According to the American Can-
cer Society, colon cancer is the third
most common cancer diagnosed in
both men and women in the U.S.
Legacy doctors emphasize that co-
lon cancer is highly curable if found
and treated early. It is recommended
people get screen at age 50, sooner
if a person has symptoms or a family
history.
“It’s all about keeping you healthy
for years to come,” says gastroenter-
ologist Erich Vorlop, M.D.
