Free Colorectal Cancer Screening Kits For The Monroe Community

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, in partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation and the Monroe Housing Authority, is providing free, convenient access to colorectal cancer screening kits during the month of June. Discovering cancers in their earliest stage through screenings can help lead to better outcomes, making it extremely important for the community to get screened for appropriate cancers.

Following is the distribution schedule:

·       Wednesday, June 9, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., Johnson Carver Terrace-Family Housing, 31 Carroll Drive, Monroe, LA 71202

·       Wednesday, June 16, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., Robinson Place Family Housing, 1207 Milliken St., Monroe, LA 71202

All screenings and colorectal screening kits are available to those who have not been screened in the past 12 months.
