CCCHC has teamed up with the UND Center for Rural Health, Sakakawea Medical Center, Western Plains Public Health, Hilltop Home of Comfort and Knife River Care Center to gather information about the communities we serve and learn more about how local services are used. The results of this survey will be used to develop a plan to improve and expand the care we provide.
The Community Health Needs Assessment Survey is available at http://tinyurl.com/CHNAHAZEN2024. If you would like a paper copy of the survey mailed to you, please call 701-873-7488. All survey responses are tabulated by the Center for Rural Health and will remain anonymous.
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 2022 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.
