Colorectal cancer isn’t something most of us like to talk about, but this month we can change that. National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month gives us a platform to start conversations that can save lives!

Three things you can do now:

• Search and share your family health history on the Family PLZ! site (includes Fact Sheet on Genetic Testing).
• Use these patient education tools from the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and pass along to family and friends.
• Update your knowledge. Earn 1.0 contact hours FREE with NOEP’s brand new online course, Every Nurse Makes a Difference: Preventing Colorectal Cancer by Joni Watson, MSN, RN, OCN.
