• January 29th from 12pm-1pm "Colorectal Cancer Screening in Ohio Community Health Centers"

Only 31% of Ohio FQHC patients are in compliance with colorectal cancer screenings (2013 UDS Data).   

Did you know? Everyone ages 51-74 should be getting colorectal cancer screenings.

 

Let's get more mothers-to-be into our health centers during their first trimester! The goal to surpass for 2015 is 71% of pregnant women versus our current 68% (2013 UDS Data).

 

Let's do our best to have more happy, healthy, babies! The 2015 goal is to have at least 92.2% of babies be 2,500 grams and over at birth.
