Advancing Colorectal Cancer Screening & Care

to Improve Clinical Outcomes 

A Cancer Advocacy Community

The National Coalition for Quality Colorectal Cancer Screening & Care has been established to preserve the tradition of safe, comfortable and quality-based medicine.  We invite you to join the Coalition and support our cause. 

Our Mission

 

The Coalition's mission is to educate the public and key stakeholders about the opportunities to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer through maintaining screening and care options for patients.  In order to do so, the Coalition needs your help to fight the effort by insurers to interfere in a physician's ability to practice medicine.


The Coalition asks for your support and participation.

Contact our organization today to learn how you can help advance the quality of colorectal cancer screening.
