Cancer Prevention

New Milford Hospital approaches cancer prevention with an array of services designed to help individuals and families assess their risk for cancer, and to lead healthier lifestyles to prevent the disease or to detect it in its early stages, when it is most treatable.  These services include cancer screenings, nutrition counseling, and referral for genetic counseling and testing, depending upon the recommendations of your primary care physician and/or cancer specialist.  Many routine tests, such as annual mammograms or screening colonoscopy, can be coordinated with your primary care physician to ensure that you are up-to-date on preventive care, and supporting a lifestyle that promotes early detection.  For more information on cancer prevention, speak with your doctor and other health providers.

One of the best ways to maintain your health is to establish a relationship with a primary care provider.  To find a doctor, call 1-800-585-7198.
