 GCSJ's Thanksgiving Food Drive
Gastroenterology Consultants of South Jersey is participating in a
Food Drive for those less fortunate during the Holiday Season. We are asking our patients when they come to the office for a visit or they can just stop by and bring can goods for those in need.
The can goods will be picked up on November 20, 2024 and brought to the Christian Community Center for distribution.
For every can good you bring in, you will be awarded a Ticket for a
Drawing for a beautiful basket that our talented and crafty employee Jackie has kindly made and will be raffling off. The
Drawing for the Baskets will be held on November 20. Please remember to put your name and phone number on the raffle so we can contact you if you are the big winner.
Let's come together and help feed those less fortunate in our community to make everyone's Thanksgiving a day of celebration.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING NEW COLON CANCER SCREENING GUIDELINES AND COVERAGE
The USPSTF has updated their guidelines on colorectal cancer screenings and recommends that all people at average risk begin screening for colorectal cancer at age 45. The new guidelines will increase access to colorectal cancer screenings. According to the CCA, more than 15 million additional people will be able to get a preventive colorectal cancer screening, most at no cost.
The Affordable Care Act requires that Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans cover preventive screenings. For average-risk patients age 45 and older, this means no
co-pay or out-of-pocket costs for routine screenings.
Please check with your carrier regarding coverage under the new guidelines.

Some things in life ARE Free...
Now your Screening Colonoscopy could be too!
Colon screening is the recommended preventative method for screening for colon
cancer. With a simple consult screening it could make the difference between life and
death. Colon cancer is preventable in most cases when detected early.
Make an appointment today if you are over the age of 50 to ensure good health. If you are African American, it is now recommended that you be screened starting at the age of 45.
