Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month:
Have you been screened this year?

In honor of March observances, we’re here to remind you that this month is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

While a colon cancer screening may not be at the top of your to-do list, getting checked saves lives.

According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, 1 in 24 people will be diagnosed with CRC in their lifetime.  When routinely screened, doctors can find warning signs of colon and rectal cancer, helping prevent the progression of the disease.  Regular screening can also detect CRC early, making treatment more effective.¹

Getting screened is proven to reduce the risk of death from CRC²³

At GoPivot, we reward you for staying on top of your health.  Our programs make it easy for you to report your recent colonoscopy or related exams and instantly earn points that can be redeemed for travel, tickets, gift cards, and merchandise.  Our app is a one-stop shop that allows you to monitor your well-being and reap the benefits of doing so.
