March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is now the deadliest cancer in people under 50, but it is highly preventable through regular screening. Most people should start regular screening at age 45. When caught early, the survival rate is over 90%.

If you're 45 or older or have a family history, don't wait for symptoms. Talk to your doctor about getting scheduled today.

A healthy smile is about more than just teeth. It’s an important part of overall wellness. Research shows that poor oral health is linked to serious systemic issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

By prioritizing early check-ups and daily habits today, we reduce the risk of chronic illness and emergency room visits tomorrow.

According to the American Cancer Society, in the United States for 2026, 44% of the estimated 626,000 cancer deaths can potentially be prevented because they are attributable to modifiable cancer risk factors. Cancer screening tests can also help prevent thousands of additional cancer deaths.

National Cancer Prevention Month serves as reminder for us to take charge of our health by prioritizing screenings and making small, intentional changes to reduce risk.

NeRHA Executive Director Jed Hansen was honored to give the keynote address at the University of Nebraska Medical Center - UNMC Graduate Studies Convocation last month.

"You did hard things when you were tired. When you were unsure. When you were learning," said Hansen. "And now you’re about to do hard things at the next stage—where the stakes are higher, but so is the meaning. You’re going to do hard things for patients who are scared. For families who are grieving. For communities who are underserved. For systems that need reform. For science that needs integrity. For the future that needs courage."

From cancer research to public health, these graduates are moving on to serve their communities with pride.

Congratulations from the Nebraska Rual Health Association!
