Every day one Nova Scotian dies from a disease that is 90% preventable.

That disease is colorectal cancer.

I have had family members, friends, fellow Armed Forces Members & Veterans who have participated in screening for colorectal cancer. I personally have discovered and experienced that early detection is critical in the diagnosis and treatment of this form of cancer. It truly does save lives!

For almost 50 years, Dartmouth General Hospital has been quietly leading the way in innovative care and practices. Most recently, Dartmouth General has become a provincial and national leader in using robotics and artificial intelligence to improve orthopedic surgery outcomes and advance colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis.

Colorectal cancer screening and prevention is vital!
