Take the Pledge
Advances in modern diagnostics and easy access to screening centers means that today colon cancer is preventable more than 90 percent of the time … but you and your loved ones have to get screened. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of your family and those you care about. Learn the facts, take the Stop Colon Cancer Now Pledge and protect yourself and the people you love from this highly preventable disease.
Help us reach our goal of getting 25,000 pledges. For every pledge, AmSurg will donate $1 (up to $25,000) to colon cancer prevention charities.
Screening through colonoscopy equals prevention. Join the campaign to Stop Colon Cancer Now and pledge to:
- Educate myself and my family about colon cancer and who is at risk, including:
- African-Americans 45 and older
- Anyone 50 or older
- Those 40 or older with a family history of polyps or colon or rectal cancer
- Anyone who has a history of cancer or polyps.
- Encourage family and friends who should get screened to schedule a colonoscopy.
- Schedule my own colonoscopy if I am at-risk.
- Spread the word.
