Wood County Health District Wears Blue for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Raising awareness to increase screening and decrease mortality rates

Wood County Health District and Health and Wellness Center employees wore blue to raise awareness for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.  Raising awareness is an important part of helping to increase screening and decrease mortality rates.

Colorectal cancer screening saves lives. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with advancing age. More than 90 percent of cases occur in people aged 50 or older.

It’s important for both men and women to get screened. There is more than one kind of screening test for colorectal cancer. Talk with your healthcare provider about which test is right for you.
