The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be more than 150,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancer combined in 2023. Overall, the lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 26 for women. A screening colonoscopy is the best way to prevent and detect colorectal cancer in its early stages when it is most treatable.

National Women Physicians Day, Feb. 3, marks the birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States in 1849. It is an opportunity to recognize and honor the accomplishments of female physicians everywhere, and especially within Columbus Regional Health. CRH is particularly excited to recognize this day, as we also celebrate our first all-female medical staff leadership (Secretary, Chief-of-Staff-Elect, Chief-of-Staff, and Past Chief-of-Staff).
