Historical June 1976 screening notice and period medical claims, not a current event or medical recommendation.
Do you remember the women’s cancer prevention screening held at the People’s Clinic last fall? Well, here’s a similar program, but an equal-rights one: it’s for both men and women.
There will be a colon-rectal cancer screening program given at
Wohl Center (Kingshighway at M.L. King) on Tuesday, June 15,1976 at 8:00 P.M. Wohl Center has a well-lighted, wellguarded parking lot. Once you have the instructions and kit, the testing itself takes place in the privacy of your home.
A rectal examination is the most frequently omitted part of the general physical examination, due to patient (and doctor?) embarrassment. Yet, colon and rectal cancers are subject to cure—if found early. Therefore, the People’s Clinic wants to encourage all our neighbors to take advantage of this free service of the American Cancer Society. The program will take an hour of your time. The location of the session is welllighted and well-secured. The test itself will be in the privacy of your home, so there will be no embarrassment.
Now that we’ve demolished most of your excuses—put it on your calendar: “I do a life saving act for myself on June 15 at 8:00 P.M. at Wohl Center!”
