Ashland County Health Department

Colorectal Cancer Expert Panel Discussion
2025-03-18 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | University Hospitals Samaritan on Main, 663 East Main Street, Ashland, Ohio, 44805
Ashland County Health Department, along with the Ashland County Health and Wellness Target Action Group, is hosting an expert panel discussion on colorectal (colon) cancer on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 6 p.m. at University Hospitals Samaritan on Main, 663 E. Main Street.
Guests can ask medical professionals questions, hear from a cancer survivor, and learn about services available to residents undergoing cancer treatment.
Recent data from the National Cancer Institute (2018-20202) shows the number of colorectal cancer deaths per 100,000 people:

Ashland County: 18
Ohio: 13.9
United States: 12.9

For comparison, the national goal (Healthy People Target) is 8.9 deaths per 100,000.
When Ashland County created its 2023-2025 Community Health Improvement Plan, the most recent data available was from 2016-2020. At that time, the numbers were event higher:

Ashland County: 23.3
Ohio: 14.5
United States: 13.3

This shows progress in Ashland County but highlights that colorectal cancer deaths remain higher than state and national averages.
