Colorectal Cancer Awareness Toolkits Available
During March, the WVU Cancer Institute and Mountains of Hope, the state’s cancer coalition, invite you to engage with your community to raise colorectal cancer awareness and encourage on-time colorectal cancer screening. This campaign builds upon the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable’s Blue Star initiative which symbolizes the fight against colorectal cancer and promotes colorectal cancer awareness.
Join us in creating a campaign that focuses on increasing colorectal cancer knowledge, on-time colorectal cancer screening, and understanding of current colorectal cancer screening options throughout West Virginia and surrounding areas. This toolkit contains a variety of materials that may be helpful including a customizable screening guide card, sample press releases, and proclamations plus a social media kit.
