JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 22, 2021) - Andrea Patterson, a nurse practitioner at Naval Hospital Jacksonville’s Family Medicine Clinic, discusses colon cancer prevention with a patient during a check-up. Patterson, a native of Brooklyn, New York, says, “Early detection by having screenings is key to catching early signals.” There are several screening test options; talk with your doctor about which is right for you. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends: if you’re 50 to 75 years old, get screened regularly for colorectal cancer; and talk to your doctor, if you’re younger than age 50 and think you might be at high-risk or if you’re older than 75. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. (U.S. Navy photo by Deidre Smith, Naval Hospital Jacksonville/Released). #FacesofNHJax
