For family caregivers, staying on top of preventive health is one of the most loving things you can do. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and it's the perfect time to discuss colon health with your aging loved ones.

Colon cancer is highly preventable with screening, and risk increases with age. While our residents at Munday Nursing Center receive comprehensive care, we want to empower our entire community with knowledge.

For Caregivers:
✅ Know the Guidelines: Screening is typically recommended for adults 45 and older.
✅ Talk to the Doctor: Encourage your loved one to speak with their healthcare provider about their personal risk and screening options.
✅ Watch for Symptoms: Be aware of changes like persistent stomach pain, blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss.

At Munday Nursing Center, we see every day how proactive health management leads to better outcomes. Your advocacy makes all the difference.

Protect Your Colon Health. Schedule Your Screening.
Early detection makes all the difference.

Colorectal cancer often develops without symptoms, which is why screening is so important. When detected early, it is highly treatable — and in many cases, preventable.

If you are 45 or older, or have a family history of colorectal cancer, talk with your primary care provider about your screening options. Preventive screenings are simple, effective, and typically covered by insurance.

Don’t wait for warning signs. Take a proactive step for your health and your future.
To schedule an appointment, call the Knox City Clinic at 940-657-3906 or the Munday Clinic at 940-422-5271.
