Palmateer Health & Wellness – Shield Screening Day!
We’re welcoming the community for a special Shield Colon Cancer Screening Day—a simple, appointment‑based opportunity for anyone who prefers this method of colon cancer screening and has no contraindications.
There are various ways to screen, and people should choose what fits their needs. Shield is simply one of the newer, blood‑based options.
These numbers are why screening — in any form — is strongly encouraged.
1 in 23 men and 1 in 25 women will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime.
Rates in adults under 55 have been rising for nearly two decades.
Colon cancer is now a top cause of cancer death in adults under 50.
As an added value - an optional multi‑cancer screening is available at no additional cost for participants.
Please call the office to register and with any questions.
