Did you know colorectal cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages?

That’s why screening is so important. For most adults, screening should begin at age 45, or earlier if you have certain risk factors.

Understanding your screening options is the first step toward protecting your health.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S., but it is also one of the most preventable when caught early.

Regular screening can detect colorectal cancer before symptoms appear and when treatment is most effective.

With up to 2,000 calls coming in each day, our phones are a critical part of how patients connect with care. Supporting that volume across languages and needs takes an incredible amount of work from our call center team. At the same time, we know that telephone access can be a source of frustration for patients when wait times grow.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve patient access, we partnered with Attuned Intelligence to introduce Maria, an AI team member who can help route calls and answer simple questions, making it easier for patients to reach the right place.

This work is focused on strengthening access, reducing unnecessary delays, and supporting the teams who show up every day to care for our community. We’re looking forward to learning as we go and continuing to invest in better, more reliable access for the patients we serve.
