On Wear Blue Day (March 7), staff at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre’s Regional Cancer Care wore blue to raise awareness for colorectal cancer.

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 two 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. Learn more here.
