The hospital is offering the free screening kits starting March 21. 

“You could do [the test] from the comfort of your own home,” the hospitals’ internal medicine specialist Julia Mueller, MD, told WPBN. “That’s something that has been a big thing for patients during the pandemic. They’ve been postponing [their] screening during the pandemic, because they didn’t want to come into the hospital. But I tell patients don’t let that be a reason to postpone your screening.”

 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
