COLON CANCER AWARENESS
It’s Colon Cancer Awareness Month and we’re highlighting the importance of screenings. Did you know you’re at an increased risk of getting colon cancer if a family member has had it? Even if you don't have a family history of colon cancer, it’s recommended that you get screened at age 45. UVA Health is ready to answer your questions about screenings. Call
434.297.8427 or email [email protected]. Be sure to speak with your primary care provider about which option is right for you.

CIRCLE OF LIGHT
4th Thursday of each month
Join an emotional wellness space where individuals can process their experience with racial trauma through the exploration of shared stories and lived experiences. We will help participants understand how racial trauma can affect mental and emotional well-being and how to incorporate ways to interrupt the trauma response by drawing upon culturally-grounded healing strategies.
