FourLeaf is proud to sponsor Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health, The Urgent Need: Understanding Colorectal Cancer Today webinar. The webinar aligns with the Money Like A Woman movement, which is designed to promote financial inclusivity and bring awareness to women’s unique and collaborative mindsets along with their wellness and success.
About the webinar
Join our next webinar to explore Colorectal Cancer (CRC), a disease whose rates are alarmingly rising, particularly in those under 50. This urgent trend makes understanding it more critical than ever. We’ll delve into why CRC is often a ‘silent threat’ with no early symptoms, underscoring the vital importance of timely screening. Additionally, we’ll break down key risk factors, including the updated screening age of 45+, family history, inflammatory bowel disease, and actionable lifestyle factors. Equip yourself with the knowledge to protect your health!
