Welcome to C5NYC.org - Your Partner in the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer
Our Mission
The City Coalition for Colorectal Cancer Control (C5) operates in the heart of vibrant New York City. Our goal is to raise awareness, promote prevention and provide support to those affected by the disease. New York City is a city full of diversity and energy, and we are committed to harnessing this momentum to make a difference in public health and the fight against colorectal cancer.
Why Our Work Matters.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers both in the US and around the world. Each year, thousands of New Yorkers face this diagnosis. However, with early detection and modern treatments, the chances of a full cure are greatly improved. Our coalition strives to ensure that every resident of our city has access to the necessary information and medical services that can save lives.
Our Activities
1. Education and Awareness: We organize community campaigns, workshops and seminars to educate people about risk factors, symptoms and the importance of screening. We work with local schools, businesses and organizations to reach the widest possible audience.
2. Support for Patients and Families: We offer comprehensive support for people affected by colorectal cancer and their loved ones. Our team of counselors and specialists is ready to support in difficult moments, offering both medical advice and emotional support.
3. Collaboration with Professionals: We collaborate with leading medical experts, hospitals and research institutes in New York to provide the latest information and innovative treatment approaches.
4. Health Policy: We are committed to improving health policy in our city, striving to provide equal opportunities for access to screening and modern treatments regardless of economic status.
