💙 Thank you, Hendrick Health and Dr. Mathur.

This is a great video that helps shine a light on such an important and preventable health issue.

Colon cancer continues to impact far too many individuals and families, but through education, awareness, and screening, lives can be saved.

Thank you for sharing valuable information on risk factors, prevention, and screening recommendations and for your commitment to improving the health of our community. 💙

💙 Happy Doctor’s Appreciation Day 💙

Today we celebrate and honor the physicians who make the mission possible.

For the past 43 years, PMCM has been blessed by doctors who have answered a true calling to serve — providing compassionate, Christ-centered care to patients in our community who need it most.

We are deeply grateful for our current medical team, as well as the many physicians who have served the mission over the years. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment to your patients make a lasting impact every single day.

Thank you for all that you do — we appreciate you more than words can express. 💙

📰 Thank you, Abilene Reporter-News !!

We’re grateful to the Abilene Reporter-News for coming out to the Undie Run, capturing great moments, and helping us continue to raise awareness about colon cancer during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. 💙

Your coverage helps spread an important message about early detection, prevention, and access to screening options right here in our community.

And we have to say… calling it a “colossal colon” was pretty spot on! 😄

Thank you again for your support in helping us wipe out colon cancer in the Big Country.

💙 What an incredible morning at the PMCM Undie Run 5K & Block Party!

We were blessed with beautiful weather and an amazing turnout from our community. The support from our volunteers, board members, vendors, staff, and participants was truly incredible — we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.

And yes… the 16-foot inflatable colon held strong (for the most part 😄).

We even had a surprise appearance from Captain Underpants, who quickly became a fan favorite and showed up in perfect themed fashion!

A special thank you to our co-host and presenting sponsor, TTUHSC’s ACTION Program (Against Colorectal Cancer Together In Our Neighborhood). We were honored to receive a Colorectal Cancer Champion Award recognizing our medical team’s efforts in helping patients access life-saving screenings.
We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude for this community and the opportunity to raise awareness for such an important cause. 💙

What do a 16-foot inflatable colon, a block party, and a 5K run have in common? 😄

They’re all part of a bigger mission — raising awareness about colon cancer and saving lives through early detection. 💙

Here is an interview between PMCM Executive Director, Brady Harwell and Linda Jones Neill with the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s ACTION Program (Against Colorectal Cancer Together In Our Neighborhood) to talk about:
✔️ Colon cancer awareness and key facts
✔️ The importance of screening
✔️ How programs like ACTION — along with delivery sites like PMCM — are providing FREE at-home screening kits and free follow-up care when needed
✔️ And of course… the 16 ft inflatable colon you’ll get to experience at our event

We’re excited to invite the community to join us for the Block Party and Inaugural Undie Run 5K on March 28 at 9 AM.

Take a couple minutes to watch — and help us spread the word. This is how we make a difference. 💙
