The Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening Program was established to provide CRC screenings to residents for free. The program, run through Kentucky CancerLink, connects patients to no-cost colonoscopies. Residents must be between 45 and 75 years old and be uninsured. Any resident with a family history of CRC or a factor that increases the risk of CRC qualifies for the screening.
Mercy Health-Lourdes Hospital will provide screenings to patients who meet the guidelines.
Lourdes Hospital’s anesthesiology and pathology providers also participate in the program.
