Mercy Health is aiming to spread more awareness around cancer screenings as well as what can be done in terms of colon health as that type of cancer is highly preventable if caught early, according to a recent news release from the health network.
As a result, Gabbard’s discussion will focus on colon cancer screening facts, why screening is so important, early detection versus prevention, who should be screened and the different options for screening, the release added.
Those wishing to attend can either do so in-person as it will be held at CoHatch, 100 South Fountain Ave., in downtown Springfield. Those wishing to tune-in virtually can do so via Zoom.
In-person attendance will be limited, and as a result those interested will have to pre-register for the event. For more information regarding registration or to receive a virtual link to view the event online, email jdahlberg@mercy.com.
Mercy Health operates two hospitals in the area, Springfield Regional Medical Center and the Urbana Hospital.
