Lincoln Memorial Hospital (LMH), formerly Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital,
will give away free colorectal cancer screening kits, which participants can
take home.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death among cancers that affect
both men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Survival rates for colon and rectal cancer are nearly 90 percent when the cancer
is diagnosed before it has extended beyond the intestinal wall, according to the
American Cancer Society.
For more information, call 217-605-5008.
The LMH Community Health Collaborative and Logan County Department of Public
Health are presenting the expo and flu clinic.
