@CathyEngMD @VUMCSurgery @VUMCDiscoveries @VUMC_Cancer @VUMC_Insights @ColonCancerFdn Everyone should have a 3D colon! So important to find and develop these tools to help reach patients with information they can understand.

Health disparities are an issue in #colorectalcancer. Eye opening listening to @drholowatyj discuss some of the contributing factors at @ColonCancerFdn EAO-CRC Summit. Living in Texas I was sad to see that 92% of overall EAOCRC hot spot counties in the US are in the South! #crcsm

The Pairings with a Pro program pairs all players competing in the 2023 #CologuardClassic with a colon cancer survivor, patient or caregiver. Each player will wear a ribbon with their honoree’s name, and several of the honorees will be attending this year’s tournament.
