Trouble with Cost of Screening?
For those of you who need a screening test, but do not have insurance or can’t afford the testing, please contact Southeastern Med at 740-439-8156 or the Mount Carmel Colon Health Program at 614-546-3800. You may be eligable for a FREE screening test! Remember, if you are 50 or older, you need to be tested for colon cancer.
