Certified Nurses Celebrated at Raritan Bay Medical Center
PERTH AMBOY – Raritan Bay Medical Center’s endoscopy nurses and the American Cancer Society provided colon cancer information and discussed the importance of colon cancer screenings with hospital guests and Raritan Bay team members on March 20 at the medical center in Perth Amboy. Visitors were invited to walk through the Hackensack Meridian Health walk-in colon education tool to learn more about the disease. According to the Colon Cancer Alliance, of the 50,000 people in the U.S. who will die this year from colon cancer, roughly half would have been prevented if they had regular screenings.
