VA understands that screening for colon cancer may be unpleasant and that you may have hesitations — do not be afraid to ask questions or voice your concerns.

VA will prioritize your safety, respect, and comfort at every step. Discuss your risk for colon cancer with your VA health care provider to determine the best timing and screening test for you. To learn more, visit the VA Women’s Health Colonoscopy page or contact the Women Veterans Health Program team at 989-497-2500, extension 12693.
