The month of March is Women’s History Month. However, it is also Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. One in 25 women is at risk of developing cancer, while women are most vulnerable to other cancers, such as breast, cervical, skin and more, according to the American Cancer Society.

In honor of both observances, Tapestry 360 Health (previously known as Heartland Health Center) hosted a workshop for community members and patients to highlight the importance of cancer screenings. While all were welcome, the workshop was particularly targeted towards women, teaching attendees how to take preventative measures and notice the signs of cancer.
