Free 30 for 30
Dr. Matthew Cohen and Mr. Mike Koff were interviewed by Chaz and AJ of WPLR 99.1, to share with the community our 30 for 30 Program.
Gastroenterology Center of Connecticut, PC physicians and anesthesiologists with Milford Anesthesia Associates announce their "Free 30 for 30" program which will provide 30 free colonoscopies in 30 days to patients impacted by the recent economic downturn. For more information, please call our office at (203) 281-4463.
Starting on Thursday February 18th, the physicians at Gastroenterology Center of Connecticut, PC and anesthesiologists with Milford Anesthesia Associates will donate their time and facilities to perform 30 free screening colonoscopies to help those in our communities who have recently lost health insurance. If you are aged 50 or over and have not yet been screened for colon cancer and have been impacted by the recent economic downturn, you are eligible to apply for one of the 30 free colonoscopies.
Colon Cancer is one of the most preventable cancers if people, aged 50 and over, get screened regularly. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country and third leading cause of cancer death. While early screening has reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer, the ACS estimates that about half the eligible population has not been screened.
Gastroenterology Center of Connecticut, PC has financial counselors available throughout the year to help patients manage the cost of healthcare within their budgets.
If you are interested in signing-up for the free screening colonoscopy program, fill out the form (download form) and fax it to us at 203-287-2914.
Procedures will be performed in our Hamden Endoscopy Center and our Guilford Endoscopy Center.
