Gastroenterology
Using powerful technology, our gastroenterologists diagnose illness and perform minimally invasive surgical procedures that help prevent life-threatening cancer. We also provide around-the-clock emergency endoscopy services at our Emergency Departments across Berkshire County.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, however if discovered early, it is both “treatable and beatable.”
Recommended for anyone over the age of 45, colonoscopies are critical to help prevent or detect early-stage colon cancer. Individuals who are at higher risk may require more frequent screening starting at an earlier age. Talk to your primary care provider to determine if you are at high risk.
Enterology
Enterology is a branch of medicine and a subspecialty of gastroenterology. It focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders and diseases specifically related to the small intestine and colon (large intestine). Dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the intestinal tract.
Thanks to the generosity of community donors, BHS is able to provide significant discounted self-pay rates or even complete coverage for the cost of the procedure for eligible individuals through the Screening Colonoscopy Patient Fund.
