Dear NCCRT Members & 80% Partners:Everyone deserves to live a life free from colorectal cancer. That’s why in 2019 the American Cancer Society National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable launched 80% in Every Community, our bold, shared goal to reach colorectal cancer screening rates of 80% and higher in communities across the nation.
Today, we’re excited to share with you our new campaign video, which shares what 80% in Every Community means to our members and partners. We hope that you will take a look and share widely!
