MEET HIS CHALLENGE

Step 3: Share with your doctor

Using 3 Steps Detect has helped 23% of participants identify health issues earlier.

Once you take step 3 and share with your doctor, be sure to get answers to the following questions:

This isn't normal for me; why am I having these symptoms?
When should I feel better and contact you again?
Where can I find more information, MedlinePlus.gov?
If something is still not right, you forget to share something with your doctor, or you have more questions, record it by contacting your clinician through your healthcare platform.

Fontebonne Academy

Are you a teacher, or know one?

If you are a high school or college educator or know one, we are looking for teachers to pilot our online well-being program for Teens and Young Adults.

“The program provided our students an opportunity to hear/see what an important role they play in their overall wellbeing and gave them easy-to-remember steps/tools that one day may save their lives.”

Have you ever considered a marathon, but the miles were too daunting?

Consider another type of marathon on June 6th & 7th to check off your bucket list!

The day's is to play as many holes as possible and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. This is not the day to shoot a personal best (although possible!).

Instead, gimmes and free drops are plentiful! It’s all about having fun while making a profound difference in the fight to save more lives through early cancer detection.
