In recognition of March as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Blount Memorial Hospital is offering Saturday colonoscopy appointments all month long.
A colon cancer screening is one of the most important, life-saving screenings you can have because, when caught early, colon cancer is highly curable. An estimated 3,450 people are expected to be diagnosed with colon cancer in our state this year, and an estimated 1,240 Tennesseans will die from the disease by the end of 2023. But by detecting and removing colorectal polyps before they become cancerous, simply getting a colon cancer screening could save your life.
Blount Memorial Physicians Group – Gastroenterology is helping you fit a colonoscopy into your busy schedule by offering colonoscopy appointments on Saturdays in March. Limited spots are available for Saturday colonoscopies, so call Blount Memorial Physicians Group – Gastroenterology at 865-980-5060 today to schedule your appointment.
