Don't Wait. Screen. Colon Cancer is Preventable, Treatable, and Beatable.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and Ward Memorial Hospital & Sandhills Family Clinic is here to remind you of a life-saving fact: screening is your best defense.

Colon cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages. A simple screening can find polyps before they turn into cancer, giving you the power to protect your future.

Are you at risk? Screening is recommended for:
✅ Adults ages 45 and older
✅ Anyone with a family history of colon cancer
✅ Those with certain genetic syndromes or inflammatory bowel diseases

Don't let fear or uncertainty stand in your way. Our team is ready to answer your questions and guide you through the process with compassion and expertise.

Take control of your health. Talk to your healthcare provider about getting screened today.

To schedule an appointment or learn more, call Sandhills Family Clinic at 432-943-2068 or Sandhills Family Clinic East at 432-943-2057

For seven decades, our hospital has stood at the heart of this community — delivering care, comfort, and compassion to generations of families. From the everyday moments to the life‑changing ones, it has been our honor to serve you.

What began as a small rural hospital has grown into a place where neighbors care for neighbors, where innovation meets hometown values, and where every patient is treated like family.

Here’s to 70 years of healing, hope, and heart — and to many more years of serving you with the same commitment that started it all.
Thank you for trusting us for 70 years. 💛
