We had an amazing day on Main Street at St. Peter’s Hospital last Thursday promoting Colorectal Cancer Awareness!

A heartfelt thank‑you to Dr. Tritt, Amy Connors, and the Capital District Colon and Re**al Surgery team, as well as the Colorectal Cancer Alliance for partnering with us. Your dedication, expertise, and commitment to community health made this outreach event a true success.

We’re grateful for everyone who stopped by, asked questions, played our games and joined the conversation about early detection and prevention.

Together, we’re making a meaningful impact. 💙
