Get FIT to Stay Fit

Get FIT to Stay Fit Fighting Colorectal Cancer in the Panhandle Getting screened for colorectal cancer can and does save the lives of men and women. Call today for your appointment.

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of death in the United States. One of the most common misconceptions is that the disease affects only men. Colorectal cancer affects everyone, which means screening is just as important for women. We are providing education and clinical services to the Texas Panhandle in hopes of preventing colorectal cancer deaths and ultimately improving quality of life by catching the illness in its early stages. It’s completely free! Funded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

βœ… Reached 2.5 million people
βœ… Educated 148,000+ community members
βœ… Trained 17,000 professionals
βœ… Distributed 8,300+ FIT test kits
βœ… Performed 753 colonoscopies
βœ… Removed 518 pre-cancerous polyps

Every number represents a life touched, a family helped, and a community strengthened.
