The 2017 Taking Charge Against Colorectal Cancer Conference is a collaborative effort of the DC CRC Roundtable members to engage stakeholders and increase screening in the District. This year’s conference theme highlights our goals: Leveraging Partnerships, Exploring Best Practices and Using Data to Reach 80% by 2018 and Beyond. Our audience – health providers, clinic administrative staff, quality improvement experts, employers, health plans and advocates – will have the opportunity to explore and discuss challenges, barriers and possible solutions to reach an 80% screening rate in DC.
