At MedNOW Clinics, we are committed to caring for the whole person, supporting not only your medical needs but also the challenges that may impact your overall well-being. We are proud to share a valuable resource available to our community: the Colorado Patient Care Fund (CPCF). The CPCF is dedicated to improving access to healthcare by assisting individuals with costs related to both medical needs. Many patients in our community face barriers such as high medication costs, lack of insurance, and the inability to afford high co-payments and durable medical equipment like walkers, wheelchairs, and oxygen tanks. These obstacles can significantly affect a person's ability to maintain their health and quality of life. Examples of support offered through CPCF include: • Assistance with the cost of medications • Assistance with the cost of office visits • Help with purchasing medical equipment and supplies • Coverage for primary care and specialist appointments Our Mission: We aim to remove barriers to high-quality health care by providing patient-centered support and treating every individual with excellence in care, service, and access. If you need financial assistance, you may be eligible to apply for aid through CPCF. Our goal is to help you focus on your health without the added burden of unaffordable care. Additionally, if you can give to the CPCF, your generous donation can make a meaningful impact on the lives of Colorado families. Every contribution helps patients get the care they need and deserve.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of screening and prevention. Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., but it is highly preventable when caught early. This cancer often starts as precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum, which can be detected and removed before becoming cancerous. Routine screenings are recommended for adults starting at age 45, or earlier with risk factors. Early detection can prevent or catch cancer at an effective stage. A colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. It’s a safe procedure where a gastroenterologist examines the colon and removes precancerous polyps, with patients asleep throughout. • How often? If negative, repeat every 10 years. • Referrals: Call our office for a referral without an appointment. If you're at low risk, you may qualify for Cologuard, an FDA-approved at-home screening option. • How it works: It checks a stool sample for blood and abnormal DNA. • How often? Every three years, if negative, a positive result requires a colonoscopy. • To request: Call our office, and we’ll help with the process. At MedNOW, we make colorectal cancer screening easy and accessible. Whether you choose a colonoscopy or an at-home test, screening is a vital step in protecting your health. If you have any questions or concerns, or to schedule your screening, call your MedNOW Clinic, or you can schedule an appointment online by clicking the following link: MedNOW Portal Together, we can take proactive steps to prevent colorectal cancer and ensure your continued well-being. Thank you for trusting us for your care! The CDC provides excellent information if you have any more questions regarding Colon Cancer and Colonoscopies.
