On Wear Blue Day (March 3), staff at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute wore blue to raise awareness for Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

If you are between 50 to 74 years of age, and have no family history of colon cancer, you should complete a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit every 2 years.

To get your FIT kit, talk to your health care provider. If you don’t have a health care provider, you can get a kit by calling Health811 at 1-866-828-9213 or by making an appointment on the Screen for Life Coach by calling (807) 684-7777.
