Empowering Our Community: Colorectal Cancer Awareness for Black/African Americans
Funded by Takeda Oncology, CMH Connect and the DREF ALL of US Research Program presents FREE Online Events and Live Q & A Sessions.
“Our community is getting and dying from colorectal cancer more than others. We need to take action. Join us to learn what you can do.
As you know, the rate of colorectal cancer is increasing in African Americans. Those who succumbed to this cancer were higher than any other ethnic group. Together, we can change this trajectory with information and action.
The Empowering Our Community Colorectal Cancer Event Series is led by medical oncologists specializing in this type of cancer. These events are free to your organization and clients.
Community Health Marketing is grateful for your past support and collaboration with our health education events.
