Partnerships in Colorectal Cancer Screening for Arkansas

PiCS-AR! (Partnerships in Colorectal Cancer Screening for Arkansas) is working to reduce the state's rate of late-stage colorectal cancer, a highly treatable disease if caught early. Arkansas ranks close to the bottom for the number of people screened annually for colorectal cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we're out to change that.
