We invite you to take a moment to watch and feel the heart of Providence Sonoma County through the stories of the people who make our hospitals special.

At 42, Leslie Manners was focused on raising her young sons, not worrying about . But listening to her body and following up on a routine doctor’s visit changed everything.

Leslie was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer and later, thanks to advanced imaging at Providence, an unrelated thyroid cancer was caught early as well.

Manners is now seven years cancer free and encourages others to take screening seriously: "Just listen to your body and there is screening available, so do it as early as you can."

Colorectal cancer isn’t just affecting older adults anymore.

A new study from Providence found that some adults under 45 may have a higher risk for colorectal cancer — even if they don’t have a family history.

This research helps doctors better understand who may need screening earlier — even before symptoms show up.

“This study helps us spot risk sooner and protect more people,” said Dr. Staci Wendt, research director at Providence’s Health Research Accelerator.
