Cancer Screening

Saves Lives

A Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), or poop test, can help identify abnormal cells early, making cancer more treatable and improving health outcomes. Anyone between the ages of 50 and 74 is advised to have a FIT, or poop test, every year.

A colonoscopy is a specialized screening test that is recommended if you have a personal or family history of cancer, or if an abnormality is detected. Don’t wait —get screened today.
