Cottage Surgical Clinics is hosting a free virtual “Meet the Doctor” event on Tuesday, May 19, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., focused on colon cancer prevention and screening.
The presentation will be led by Dr. Lexine Yurcho, a board-certified general and colorectal surgeon with Cottage Surgical Clinics.

Participants will learn about:
- When to begin screening and why guidelines now recommend starting earlier
- Symptoms and warning signs that should not be ignored
- Risk factors, including family history
- Prevention strategies and available treatment options
- The differences between colonoscopy and at-home screening tests
The event will also feature a Q&A session, providing participants the opportunity to have their questions answered directly by Dr. Yurcho in a confidential setting.
