March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and teams at Harris Regional Hospital and Swain Community Hospital are helping raise awareness in a fun way. 💙

Throughout the month, departments across both hospitals are participating in Wear Blue Wednesdays, decking out in blue and sharing team photos as part of a friendly competition to highlight the importance of colorectal health and screening.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but it is also one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through screening. When caught early, the five-year survival rate is about 90%, making screening one of the most powerful tools we have to protect our health.

If you’re 45 or older, or have symptoms or a family history of colorectal cancer, it may be time to learn more about your risk. Take our quick Digestive Health Assessment to see if a screening might be right for you:

We’ll be sharing some of our Wear Blue Wednesdays photos throughout the month. Stay tuned to see which team brings the most blue to the game! 💙

🎉 WCU Baby of the Month: February 🎉

Meet Susie Jane, daughter of SJ and Chandler, both proud Western Carolina University graduates from the Class of 2023. 💜🐾

SJ and Chandler attended WCU from 2018–2023, where SJ earned her nursing degree and Chandler studied communications. Their time at Western shaped not only their careers, but their lives as well.

Chandler shared that one of his favorite parts of Western was learning about life and journalism from the incredible faculty in the communication department, especially Katherine Spasovska, who challenged and encouraged him to be the best he could be. SJ loved her time in the nursing program, where she built lifelong friendships and grew alongside inspiring professors. Their journey at Western also led them to one of the most meaningful parts of their story. Meeting each other through their college ministry at The Bridge Church.

When it came time to welcome their baby girl, choosing New Generations Family Birthing Center was an easy decision. As a nurse who works at New Generations, SJ already knew the compassion and dedication of the team. Experiencing that same care as parents made welcoming Susie Jane even more special.

We are honored to celebrate this wonderful Catamount family and their beautiful baby girl. 💜👶✨
