Free colonoscopies for uninsured people to be offered at Claxton-Hepburn in Ogdensburg

Posted

OGDENSBURG -- Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center (CHMC) along with Dr. Chris Brandy, general surgeon, and Dr. Jeffrey Doyle, anesthesiologist, has teamed up to provide free colonoscopies to St. Lawrence County residents, which were made possible from a grant from the Edward I. Moses Walk/Run for Life Foundation.

The free screenings are for uninsured people over the age of 50 who have never had a colonoscopy or adults of any age with significant risk factors such as a family history of colorectal cancer.

To find out if you are eligible, contact Claxton-Hepburn’s community relations department at 713-5251 or Claxton-Hepburn’s Richard E. Winter Cancer Center at 393-2314.
