The Southeastern Colorectal Cancer Consortium is a dynamic collective of individuals and organizations from 13 Southeast states and Puerto Rico dedicated to tackling colorectal cancer challenges, particularly in raising screening rates. Since its formation in 2015, the Consortium has been hosting annual conferences across various states, fostering discussions on prevalent issues surrounding colorectal cancer screening in the region. Attendees engage in knowledge-sharing, resource dissemination, and strategic planning, creating a conducive environment for impactful interventions and information exchange.

The upcoming conference will delve into critical themes such as advancements in research and technology for CRC screening, promoting health equity in vulnerable communities, tackling CRC vulnerabilities in young populations, and the implications of the screening age shift to 45 years old. If you or your organization aim to contribute to these vital conversations and initiatives, do not hesitate to reach out to the Consortium via email at [email protected].
