For decades, the American Cancer Society recommended that adults at average risk for colorectal cancer start having colonoscopies at age 50. Recently, however, that recommendation has changed. The current guidelines say that colorectal cancer screenings should begin at age 45.

Why the change? In the last 15 years studies have shown that colorectal cancer cases are on the rise among young and middle-aged adults.

The bottom line? A screening for colorectal cancer could save your life! So, if it’s time to take a look, Northwest Florida Community Hospital is here to help! Talk to your primary care provider today about a referral or contact us at 850-415-8180 for more information!

After surgery, stroke, injury, or long-term illness, rehabilitation is often essential. This is when a person might benefit from the NFCH Short-Term Inpatient Rehabilitation Program!

Typically, an inpatient rehab patient has been hospitalized and no longer needs the same level of care but isn’t quite ready to go home. From physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapies to social services, wound care, IV therapy and more, we understand every situation is unique and are here to help patients reach their personal goals and maximum capacity for independent living. Best of all, our services are customized to each patient’s needs and delivered with the compassion they deserve — right here, close to home!
