Garnet Health March Newsletter Spotlights Colon Cancer Screening, Free Health Fair

Garnet Health released its March 2026 Community Health e-Newsletter on March 10, spotlighting National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month with a free health fair and a new specialist joining its cardiology team.

The newsletter's headline, "March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, FREE Colon Cancer Awareness Health Fair, Meet Our New Interventional Cardiologist, A Chance to Win FREE Merch & MORE!", signals one of the health system's more event-heavy monthly issues. Colon cancer takes center stage: the newsletter promotes a free Colon Cancer Awareness Health Fair, which the system describes as including public-facing screenings. Full details on the fair's date, time, location, and what screenings will be offered are available in the newsletter itself, accessible through the "Read March 2026 Newsletter" link on garnethealth.org.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, and March's designation as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month has prompted health systems across the country to push outreach. For Orange County residents who rely on Garnet Health facilities in Middletown and Harris, the free health fair represents an accessible entry point for screenings that many delay due to cost or inconvenience.

The March issue also invites readers to meet Garnet Health's new interventional cardiologist, a specialty focused on catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. The cardiologist's name and credentials were not detailed in the newsletter's promotional materials; the full introduction appears inside the newsletter. Appointments and provider information can also be found through the "Find a Doctor" section on garnethealth.org.

Rounding out the issue is a community engagement giveaway, described as "A Chance to Win FREE Merch," with additional details in the full newsletter.

The March release continues what has become a consistent monthly communications effort from Garnet Health. The system published community health newsletters in both January and February 2026, and maintains an archive that stretches back through its earlier "Garnet Health Gems" newsletter series, with issues from April 2024 and November 2022 still available as downloadable PDFs.

Residents can read the full March 2026 issue or sign up for future editions through the "Join Our Email List!" option at garnethealth.org.
