March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

In 2022, the Petersburg Wellness Consortium hosted a conversation around colorectal cancer with a survivor, Sam Griffin; Hitting Cancer Below the Belt; and Pathways Clinic. There were many outcomes from this conversation. One was the connection of Sam to the VCU VSU SUCCEED research project, which was focused on seeing if an app could help increase African American men in Petersburg being screened for colorectal cancer. The SUCEED research team had conversations with local leaders in Petersburg and they told the importance of having a survivor story in the app. The PWC connected the researchers with Sam, and they created this video which is now available to the public.
