Colon Cancer Screening

Colon cancer is 100% curable when found in its early stages. Yet, this is the fourth most common cancer in men and women and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US.

Simple tests like having your stool tested every year can help find this cancer early. Your TCCH provider will give you with a test kit to take home with instructions on how to collect a sample. Simply return the kit to any TCCH health center and we will contact you to receive the results.

Adults should be screened for colorectal cancer every 5 to 10 years start at age 45. Individuals with a family history should talk to their provider.

There are three types of colon cancer screenings TCCH can provide:

Insure One: a stool collection kit

Vaccines Are Safe and Effective

This page is designed to provide information about the safety of vaccines and keep you updated on COVID-19 information.

You can trust TCCH healthcare providers to give you honest answers. You can decide together which vaccines are best for your health.

Vaccines Give You Added Protection

Vaccination

Vaccination means you are being injected with or taking an oral dose of a vaccine. Some vaccines need multiple doses, also known as boosters, to maintain or update your immunity.

Immunization

Immunization means you are getting the vaccines and are better immune to a specific disease.

How Do Vaccines Work?

Vaccines help your immune system create antibodies that fight off dangerous bacteria and viruses.

Why Do I Feel Sick After a Vaccine?

Many children and adults only have slight pain where the vaccine is injected into the body. Others experience side effects such as fever, muscle and joint aches, chills and headache. This is a normal response to your body building immunity against a disease.

What is a Serious Side Effect?

Serious side effects from vaccines are rare. If one million doses of a vaccine are given, one or two people may have a severe allergic reaction. If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of your face and throat, a fast heartbeat, rash, dizziness or weakness call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.

Vaccines and Children

Vaccines are an important part of protecting your child’s health at school and home. Healthy children are better able to grow, learn and succeed.

Vaccines Are Safe for Children

Infants do not have natural immunity. Vaccinating your child on a recommended schedule from infancy through their teenage years gives them extra protection before they contract a disease in public, at daycare, starting school or leaving for college.

Breastfed Babies Need Vaccines

Breast milk does offer protection from some, but not all, diseases. Vaccines are the best way to make sure your baby has long term protection against as many disease as possible.

Teenagers Need Vaccines

Protection from vaccines wear off. Vaccinating teenagers keeps them safe from current illness and exposure to new diseases as they explore their world.

In order to be tested for COVID-19, you must make an appointment as a patient of record and TCCH will bill your insurance. TCCH no longer receives COVID-19 test kits from HRSA at no cost. Therefore, we can no longer provide COVID-19 testing at no cost to you.

2023–2024 updated COVID-19 vaccines more closely targets the XBB lineage of the Omicron variant and could restore protection against severe COVID-19 that may have decreased over time.
