Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer screening rates are significantly lower among Hispanic Americans over 50, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages.

Experience was great as usual. So comfortable, so easy. Super friendly staff. My son had a fainting episode while I was waking up and everyone jumped in to make sure he was okay and even followed up the next day to check on him!
