Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers — but preventable. When it’s found early, it’s much easier to treat. That’s why The Family Van is here to help.

Stop by our mobile clinic and get:

  • Friendly one-on-one talks with our community health workers — in Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, or Portuguese

  • Free Information about colon cancer and how to lower your risk

  • Clear guidance on screening options, from simple at-home tests to colonoscopies

  • Connections to resources and referrals so you know exactly where to go next

  • Other free health checks and education, too — like blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol screenings, stress and anxiety support, and referrals to vital resources if you need them.

❤️ Your health matters. Come visit The Family Van and learn how to protect yourself from colon cancer.

Don’t Wait — Screening Saves Lives

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time to start screening — even if you feel healthy. Screening can find problems early, before they become serious.
