Using Monthly Awareness to Connect with Providers and Make You Matter

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Check out this week’s Friday from the Field video as Andrea Curless, our Health and Wellness Coach reminds us all that now is right time to take action. The strongest part of her message this week is about LISTENING - to your body that is – and how this simple skill could literally save your life.

Listen to her story as she also encourages us on how to spread the word in the field.

Did you know…Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, taking the lives of about 53,000 Americans? Colorectal cancer takes more lives than breast cancer at 43,000 or prostate cancer at 33,000 lives a year. Colorectal cancer is the most preventable yet least prevented form of cancer in the U.S. The 5-year survival rate is 90% if caught early, but when diagnosed at Stage 4, that number drops to 14%.
