Happy Colon Cancer Awareness Month!

March 1st marks the beginning of Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that Kentucky as of 2013 ranks No. 1 for colon cancer incidence and No. 4 for colon cancer mortality in the U.S.? We’re working hard to change that statistic. Our mission is to eliminate preventable colon cancer death and suffering by making sure that people get timely screenings. To do this, raising awareness is essential – that’s where you come in. While we strive to kick butt 365 days a year, we need your help!
