Blue looks good on us…and colon cancer screening looks good on you, too. 💙
It’s Week 2 of 'Wear Blue Wednesdays' at Harris Regional Hospital and Swain Community Hospital, and our teams are wearing blue each Wednesday in March to recognize Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
Here’s our friendly nudge: don’t wait on your colonoscopy. Screening can make a real difference, and we want you to take that step for your health.
Talk to your primary care provider about when it’s time to get screened.
Lunch plans for tomorrow? Chick-fil-A has you covered. 🍗
They’ll be onsite at the WC IM parking lot (across from the main entrance) from 11:30 AM–2 PM, or until they sell out.
