March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and the numbers tell a powerful story. 💙

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the U.S., but here is the most important thing to know: it is highly preventable with regular screening. Early detection isn't just a "good idea"—it’s a lifesaver. When caught early, colorectal cancer is one of the most treatable forms of the disease.

Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. If you are 45 or older, or have a family history, talk to your doctor about scheduling a screening today. 🩺

We're proud of our partnership with Manning Regional Healthcare Center. Congrats to the Bradleys on their new arrival!

Last June, we announced a partnership with Myrtue Medical Center to give expectant mothers the convenience of receiving prenatal and postnatal care right here in Manning, while delivering in Harlan.

Earlier this month, we celebrated a special milestone as Dr. Kelly Anderson delivered the very first baby through this partnership.

Welcome to the world, Imogen Maray and congratulations to the Bradley Family! 💕
