March marks Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most common cancers affecting both men and women in the United States. At the University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC), this important month means more than just education, it’s a time of action.
UMC’s endoscopy team is working hard behind the scenes, ensuring that patients receive timely, potentially life-saving colorectal cancer screenings. These procedures are essential for early detection and prevention, and the team’s dedication helps protect the health of our community every day.
Among the outstanding individuals supporting this work is Cecilia Montoya, a registrar scheduler at UMC’s Surgical Center West. Cecilia plays a vital role in coordinating patient appointments and ensuring smooth access to screenings and follow-up care. Her commitment and passion contribute directly to the fight against colorectal cancer, and UMC is proud to recognize her efforts.
As Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month continues, UMC thanks all team members for making a difference and encourages everyone to talk to their doctor about getting screened.
