Arroyo Grande Community Hospital (AGCH), French Hospital Medical Center (FHMC) and Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC), which are Dignity Health’s Central Coast hospitals, are pleased to offer community forums at which local health care professionals will share their expertise on colon cancer and the importance of being educated about the disease.
You’re invited to listen to our physician experts on Thursday, October 9 at 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, October 16 from 6:00 p.m. as they discuss risk factors, screening recommendations, what to expect during a colonoscopy, and the latest treatment options for colorectal cancer. Participants will learn the newest information on colorectal cancer treatment, including clinical trials.
With early detection and regular screenings, colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable. Empower yourself by increasing your understanding of this largely preventable disease.
