ALT Check to Protect poster: Includes OHTN logo and text that says "Check to protect. Simple steps we can take now to minimize the chances of serious illness and community spread of respiratory illness: Make sure you and your family members' COVID vaccinations are up to date. Get a flu shot If you or someone you know is a high-risk older adult (60 and up), get the RSV vaccination. Wear a mask indoors in crowded public spaces and when physical distancing cannot be maintained. Screen for respiratory symptoms daily and stay home if you are ill. Wash your hands, often, particularly when out in public."

The kind of screening test you get depends on your risk. If you do not have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) with colorectal cancer, you are at average risk. In-home screening is available to you. #colorectalcancer #preventativecare #OHTN #OntarioHealth
March is #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth. Regular screening for colorectal cancer increases the chance of finding cancer early when it is more likely to be cured. #colorectalcancer #preventativecare #screening #OHTN #OHTNorthumberland #OntarioHealth
