March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, the Big Ten Cancer Research centers are teaming up to increase awareness of the importance of colorectal cancer screening. If you or your loved one are age 45 or older, now is the time to act if you have not been screened.

Please join us by taking three steps that could make all the difference for you or your loved one. Screening saves lives!
