I got screened for
colorectal cancer.
Now it’s your turn.
Bryan Wolfe,
Hermiston resident
According to research, Colorectal Cancer is the second deadliest of its
kind. Screening for colorectal cancer can help you detect and engage
in early intervention and treatment. Most people accept screening
because they are encouraged by someone they know and trust.
So if you have been screened, please talk about your experience and
encourage others to get screened as well.
