All caregivers are invited to build a support system with people who understand. This caregiver support group, conducted by trained facilitators, is a safe place for those caring for individuals with any disease to: develop a support system, exchange practical information on caregiving challenges and possible solutions, talk through issues and ways of coping, share feelings, needs and concerns, and also learn about community resources. The group will meet at the Hazen Senior Center (21 7th St NW, Hazen) the last Tuesday of each month from 2-3p.m., starting January 31, 2023. For more information, contact Jen Will at (701) 748-7380 or jwill@coalcountryhealth.com

Join the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women in the United States. Combined, it’s estimated there will be more than 150,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancer reported in the U.S. in 2023 alone. Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That’s why getting screened is so important. With early screening and testing, it is preventable, treatable, and beatable! The CDC updated recommendations to begin screening for colon cancer starting at age 45. This March during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage you and your loved ones to be aware of risk factors and get screened.
