Talking about screening saves lives.

84% of people say they’d share their screening experience to encourage others.

88% say encouraging screening is an act of love.

One conversation could make all the difference for someone you care about.

Start the conversation today. It matters more than you think.

On March 9, we took that message into the community, hosting our first tabling event outside our office in honor of colorectal cancer awareness month. By sharing screening guidelines and starting meaningful conversations, we aimed to spread awareness and encourage others to take the first step toward screening.

Cost. Fear. Not knowing your options. Being “too busy.”

These are the top reasons people delay colorectal cancer screening… but delaying screening for the deadliest cancer for adults under 50 can be dangerous.

Colorectal cancer is highly preventable and often curable when caught early. Understanding your options could save your life.

The Ralph Lauren Center’s patient navigators can help guide you through the screening process, easing any fears you may have and assisting you if cost or insurance is an issue.

Did you know March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month? This month, march towards a healthier you! If you are 45+, you may be eligible for screening.

50% of Americans don’t know colorectal cancer screening can be done at home.

That knowledge gap can lead to dangerous delays in prevention or diagnosis.

Screening options include simple, noninvasive tests that you can complete privately at home.

Talk to your doctor to see what test is right for you, or take this short quiz to get a personalized recommendation at getscreened.org.
