FIT kits will be completed in the comfort of one’s home and returned for immediate results on Monday, September 13. If you have questions about FIT test criteria or this event, please call 449-4529.
Flu Vaccines & FIT Pick-up: Thursday, September 9 | 9:00am-Noon

Eligibility: FIT Kits are intended to screen adults 50 years of age and older who are at average risk for colorectal cancer by detecting certain DNA markers and blood in the stool. Do not use if you have had adenomas, inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
