Schedule Your Next Colonoscopy Screening at White Marsh Surgery Center
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month. You may be at risk for colon cancer if you are:
- 50 and older and have never had a colonoscopy
- 45 and older and of African-American or Eastern European Jewish descent
- Younger than 50 and have a parent who was under 60, a sibling or a child who has had colon polyps or cancer
A colonoscopy can dramatically reduce that. Consider scheduling your next colonoscopy screening or endoscopy procedure at the White Marsh Surgery Center at the Johns Hopkins Health Care and Surgery Center. Call 443-442-2705 to schedule your screening today.
