Coastal Health & Wellness will host a National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month event on March 4, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and will offer free fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screenings to eligible patients. This screening tests for hidden blood in the stool, a symptom of colorectal cancer. Patients may take the tests home, complete them and mail the sample off for testing.

There will also be refreshments, educational material on colorectal cancer screenings and giveaways including $20 Walmart gift cards being awarded every 30 minutes. The event will take place at CHW, 9850-C Emmett F. Lowry Expressway, Texas City.
