New Colonoscope Provides Faster Turnaround Time

To have one . . . or not to have one? That is the question swirling in the minds of those who have reached that distinctive age of 50, the age at which it is recommended to have a colonoscopy. And it is not about being ‘nobler’ than the next guy, but all about having to ‘suffer’ through the preconceived inconvenience of the procedure.

St. Francis Hospital & Health Services has taken steps to lessen the anxieties of those considering this important screening including purchasing of a third colonoscope with funds raised at the 2009 Tobin Benefit Golf Classic.

We came to the ER with a shattered wrist last August. Your care, comfort, and professionalism encouraged us and started the journey to putting the wrist back together. We appreciate our hometown health care. You are a blessing to our community.
