STRENGTH IN SCREENING.
Black men are 20% more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer and 40% more likely to die from it. But there is power in prevention: colon cancer is up to 90% preventable when caught early.
Don’t wait for symptoms. If you're 45 or older? Get Screened!

If it were a life or death emergency don't count on @UPS or their drivers who don't show up with your packages, but say they attempted to deliver them. Is there a class action lawsuit we can start! Seriously! #badbusiness #accoutabilityintheirpocket – at Chicago, IL
