Free colorectal cancer screening kits available in March

Statistics say colorectal cancer is the third-most common cancer found in both men and women. But fortunately, colorectal cancer found early is often highly curable.

In recognition of national Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March, 900 free colorectal cancer screening kits are being made available to anyone age 45 to 75. The screening is recommended for those who have not had a recent colonoscopy. The kits can be picked up at Salina, Abilene, Concordia and Lindsborg pharmacies while supplies last.

The screening uses an advanced f***l blood test that requires only one sample and has no food or drug restrictions. The samples can then be mailed to the Tammy Walker Cancer Center for lab analysis via a pre-paid postage envelope provided. Results of the test will be returned to both the patient and their primary care physician. Participants in the screening should return their samples for analysis by May 30.

Grant funding from the Salina Charities League and Salina Regional Health Foundation is helping to underwrite the screening.

Health officials recommend all men and women have a colonoscopy at age 45 to screen for colorectal cancer. Between colonoscopies patients can screen with a f***l blood test. Other tests may also be recommended by your physician. Those with a family history of the disease should consider screening at a younger age. African Americans are also known to be at an increased risk for colorectal cancer.

For more information about the free colorectal cancer screening kits contact Daniel Craig, cancer outreach coordinator at the Tammy Walker Cancer Center, by calling (785) 452-4848 or email [email protected]. Kits can also be mailed to interested participants by contacting Craig.

New federal regulations are now requiring healthcare providers to request information from patients regarding Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) at the time of admission to the hospital or clinic. SDoH are non-medical factors that could influence patient outcomes and overall well-being.

So the next time you visit Salina Women's Clinic you may be asked a series of questions that you have never been asked before and you may wonder why we are asking you these questions such as whether you can afford your medication, do you feel safe at home, do you have adequate housing and transportation to and from doctor’s appointments and whether you have any food insecurities. All patients will be asked the same questions. Patients may also receive an email from the patient portal to complete a questionnaire online prior to visits with their physician.

With this information, communities can work together to determine what resources are needed, how to more effectively utilize the resources that are currently available, and what needs to be done to address the Social Determinants of Health as a community. Understanding patients SDoH also allows care providers to work with patients to develop an effective care plan that meets all their needs.

Today we thank the men and women who have served our country and those who continue to serve. We salute you.
