NYOH Community Cancer Foundation
Colorectal Cancer Resources
Did you know that colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in New York? Alarmingly, young adults under the age of 50 represent the fastest-growing demographic for new colorectal cancer diagnoses.
As part of our Colorectal Check Challenge, the following resources address risks and symptoms, cancer screening, as well as other items relevant to survivors and caregivers.
This page is still being updated. Please check back for additional resources!

The purpose of our Colorectal Check Challenge is to spread the word about the importance of cancer screening, raise vital funds to help local cancer patients, and celebrate survivorship. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Keri Alonzo.
