Event Description
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, in partnership with the Monroe Housing Authority, is providing access to colorectal cancer screening kits during the month of March.
Discovering cancers in their earliest stage through screenings can help lead to better outcomes, making it extremely important for the community to get screened for appropriate cancers.
Colorectal Cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in Louisiana for men and women. More than 90 percent of colorectal cancers can be cured when caught in their early stages through the use of tools such as screening kits.
All kits are available to those who have not been screened for cancer in the past 12 months. Registration is required. To reserve a kit, please call Myra Akers at (318) 376-6972. All results will be returned by mail within 7-10 business days.
