Fairview Southdale colon screening program a success
In May 2012, Fairview Southdale Hospital, along with its physician partners, hosted a free colon cancer screening event for qualified uninsured or underinsured patients. This annual initiative, held in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health’s Sage colorectal screening program and the American Cancer Society, provided free screening to eligible patients living below the Federal Poverty Level.
Of the 26 individuals who were screened, nine were found with adenomatous polyps, or growths on the lining of the colon. All patients received appropriate follow-up care.
Physician groups that participated in the event included Colon and Rectal Surgical Associates, Fairview Medical Group, Minnesota Gastroenterology, Minnesota Oncology, Platinum Health and University of Minnesota Physicians Cancer Care at Fairview. Fairview Southdale Hospital staff and physicians donated their time to screen and treat patients.
In 2011, the Minnesota Cancer Alliance recognized this event at Fairview Southdale Hospital with the organization’s Spirit of Collaboration Award.
