Along with Rep. Patrick Kennedy, I sponsored a briefing for Members of Congress and their staffs called "Colorectal Cancer Screening: Programs That Work." The briefing focused on ways to increase screening rates across all populations and age groups at risk.

The briefing was also organized by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology and the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
