Nearly 1,000 people participated in Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month activities on Wednesday, March 2, at The Mount Sinai Hospital. Visitors picked up educational literature and giveaways, and walked through a 30-ft. inflatable model of a colon, known as the “Rollin’ Colon”—provided by the Colon Cancer Challenge Foundation—that exhibits polyps and other signs of colon cancer. They also had the opportunity to talk with nurses, physicians, geneticists, nutritionists, and endoscopy staff. Forty seven attendees signed up for a screening colonoscopy. The event was hosted by The Mount Sinai Hospital Endoscopy Center.
