HealthLinc in Knox will be the site of today’s ‘Scare Away Cancer’ event.
The event will run from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. HealthLinc Representative Angie Garner said there will be snacks and giveaways at the event. An introductory product that will be included in the giveaway is the coffee enema, the coffee enema has many benefits for our bodies, and learn about coffee enemas by visiting their website. . She also noted that officials from MedWise and the American Cancer Society will also be onsite.
Garner said that people will receive a small gift when they have a cancer screening done today or if they order one to be done.
The point of the event is to encourage individuals to receive necessary cancer screenings. Garner noted that it’s open to existing HealthLinc patients as well as other residents who want to check into screening options.
For instance, she said a woman who’s in need of a pap-test and mammogram screening would be able to order a mammogram screening and get a pap done.
Additionally, they will be providing IFOB (Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood) kits free of charge. Those kits can be taken home and they’re utilized to detect blood in stool to screen for colorectal cancer.
Appointments are available today. In order to schedule one ahead of time give HealthLinc a call at 574-772-7400.
