In honor of World Health Day, we’re encouraging patients to take a proactive approach to their health. Galleri multi-cancer early detection testing will be available at North Coast Family Medical Group on April 23.

This innovative blood test screens for more than 50 types of cancer with a single blood draw by detecting DNA signals that may indicate the presence of cancer. If a signal is found, the test can help identify where it might have started, guiding the next steps for care.

Because many cancers lack routine screening options, this type of testing provides an opportunity for earlier detection, often before symptoms appear.

World Health Day reminds us that small, proactive steps can make a meaningful difference. If you’re interested in Galleri testing, we encourage you to contact our office or speak with your clinician to learn more.
