Orlando, FL (March 24, 2026) – Patients, visitors and Orlando Health team members are getting an up close and personal look at what can happen if someone gets colon cancer.
The Orlando Health Cancer Institute, Orlando Health Colon and Rectal Institute and Orlando Health Digestive Health Institute hosted a Colon Cancer Awareness Month exhibit at Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital.
The event was highlighted by an inflatable colon exhibit that allows visitors to get a first-hand look at the difference between healthy and diseased colon tissue.
Visitors had a chance to walk through the colon to see various colon issues such as hemorrhoids, polyps, and colon cancer.
Guests also had the opportunity to schedule their colonoscopy.
Other Orlando Health facilities will be hosting the exhibition from 11am-1:00pm at the following locations:
- Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital | Outside Lawn Wednesday, March 25 | 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
- Orlando Health South Lake Hospital | Main Courtyard Monday, March 30 | 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women in the United States.
Screening begins at the age of 45.
