 LaRue County Health Department employees participated in “Dress in Blue Day” on March 1 to kick off Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. This month is dedicated each year to educating the public about the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Colorectal cancer is preventable with the use of screenings such as colonoscopy. If you are 50 or older, talk with your doctor about getting this important screening done.
