February Awareness Month
February is American Heart Month
The month of love is here, so it is important to remember to keep your heart healthy. February is American Heart Month, and we would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the importance of focusing on your heart health and taking steps toward a healthier future.
Did you know that heart disease affects 1 in 3 adults and causes approximately 697,000 deaths annually?
Many issues can lead to heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. But all of these issues are manageable with lifestyle changes and regular care!
Here are some tips to help you stay healthy and take charge of your heart health:
1. Know Your Numbers: Schedule a checkup to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
2. Stay Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
3. Eat Heart-Healthy Foods: Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars.
4. Quit Smoking: If you smoke, quitting can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease.
5. Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to lower stress levels.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but when detected early, it is highly treatable—and often preventable. Most colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. Routine screening allows these polyps to be identified and removed before they develop into cancer. Screening is recommended starting at age 45 for most adults, or earlier for those with certain risk factors or a family history. A colonoscopy remains the gold standard for screening. This safe and effective procedure allows a specialist to examine the colon and remove precancerous polyps during the same visit. If results are normal, screening is typically repeated every 10 years. If you need a referral, you can contact our office directly. For patients at average risk, Cologuard® is an FDA-approved, at-home screening option. This non-invasive test checks a stool sample for blood and abnormal DNA markers. If negative, it is repeated every three years. A positive result would require follow-up with a colonoscopy. Our team is happy to assist you with this option as well. At MedNOW, we are committed to making preventive care simple and accessible. Whether you choose a colonoscopy or an at-home test, taking this step is an important investment in your long-term health. If you have questions, would like to request a referral, or are ready to schedule your screening, please contact your local MedNOW Clinic or book an appointment through the link on our website. F or additional information, the CDC also provides helpful educational resources on colorectal cancer screening. Thank you for prioritizing your health and for trusting MedNOW with your care.
