FIT at 45 Program

This program aims to expand access to colorectal cancer screening and detect cancer at the earliest stages, when it is the most treatable. Preventative cancer screening tests, education, and resources are available to patients. Diagnostic testing such as colonoscopies, biopsies and other tests are also available if screening results are abnormal. Referrals are made for treatment as necessary.

Since education plays a vital role in avoiding late-stage diagnosis, patients are encouraged to be advocates for their own health whenever possible. The FIT at 45 Program at North Country HealthCare (NCHC) is funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration with a grant from the Health Center Program’s Accelerating Cancer Screening initiative.
