- Identify barriers and exchange solutions to strengthen existing and developing colorectal cancer screening, navigation and awareness programs.
- Identify policy needs and legislative initiatives related to colorectal cancer issues, particularly those that are unique to the rural setting.
- Ensure the continuity and quality of colorectal cancer screening and awareness initiatives for our rural communities.
