You never know where you're going to find colon cancer survivors. Orange Grove Center 's own Dr. Rick Rader is one. Hear his story.
Did you know 50% of those diagnosed with colon cancer are under the age of 50?! And those rates are on the rise.
65% of Millennials don't have a primary care doctor and 64% have skipped a routine screening like for colon cancer, preferring to get their health information from the Internet. You need a prescription or referral for colon cancer screening. If you don't have a doctor or insurance, the Greater Chattanooga Colon Cancer Foundation can help. www.gcccf.org
