Crossroads Community Hospital will be hosting a hernia screening event next week. The free screening event will be from 6 to 8:30 pm on Tuesday, June 19 at the hospital. Crossroads CEO Amanda Basso says three surgeons will be available for patients to walk in and speak with about any hernia-related issues.

Basso says it’s all a part of getting the word out about their new equipment and personal health.

Basso says hernias are more common than you may think.

You can schedule future CT scans and surgeries at the event as well. Basso encourages everyone who can’t schedule an appointment throughout the day to come during the special time allotted Tuesday.
