Colon Cancer: What You Need to Know

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — yet rates are rising, especially in adults under 50. Early detection and healthy habits can make all the difference.

At Moab Regional Hospital, Dr. Flanagan shares that since the mid-1990s, colon cancer rates in people under 50 have steadily increased — doubling in the past 25 years from 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 cases. The good news? You can lower your risk.

✔️ Eat a high-fiber diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
✔️ Limit red and processed meats
✔️ Stay active and maintain a healthy weight
✔️ Avoid to***co and limit alcohol
✔️ Pay attention to persistent digestive changes

Most adults should begin screening at age 45 — or sooner if you have a family history or notice ongoing symptoms. Screening options include colonoscopy (which can remove precancerous polyps) and convenient at-home stool tests.

Early detection saves lives. To discuss your risk or schedule a screening, call 435-719-5500. Expert care is available right here in our community.

Measles is spreading in Utah — help keep our community safe!

Cases are rising across the state, including recent exposures in Price and linked to a multi-county wrestling tournament in late January. Smaller transmission events are also increasing. As of March 3, 2026, 358 Utahns have been diagnosed since the outbreak began in June 2025.

If you think you’ve been exposed or have symptoms, please call BEFORE coming to the hospital or clinic at 435-719-3500, ext. 0. This helps protect everyone and lets healthcare providers prepare for your arrival.

Measles is highly contagious and can spread before symptoms appear. Those most at risk include young children, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems.

Get vaccinated: The MMR vaccine is safe, effective, and your best protection. Walk-in vaccine clinics are available — no appointment needed.

Let’s work together to stop the spread!

At Moab Regional Hospital, we’re here to support your health journey with resources, education, and compassionate care close to home.
