Dartmouth General Hospital gastroenterologist Dr. Chad Williams has become a familiar face as part of a recent campaign to encourage people to complete their F***l Immunochemical Test (FIT) for colon cancer screening. Dr. Williams spoke at a recent panel discussion with DGH physicians that happened in the atrium of the hospital’s Neville J. Gilfoy Wing as part of our Donor Wall unveiling event.

“Just above us here, on the 3rd floor of this wing, we have our own patient department where we do our endoscopies. And there’s a room there devoted to colon cancer screening. Monday through Friday, that’s what we do all day in that room. There is no other room like that in Nova Scotia. That was something that was equipped using donations from the Dartmouth General Hospital Foundation donors that are sitting here. So that was fantastic, and we’ve been able to utilize that to its fullest. We’re doing high volume, quality work with that. Within Central Zone, actually within the province, we do the lion’s share of colon cancer screening right here at Dartmouth General Hospital. We’re really proud of that.”
