In January 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, in collaboration with Cancer Care Ontario, launched a province-wide, population-based colorectal cancer screening program – ColonCancerCheck. The goals of the program are to increase screening rates and ultimately reduce mortality due to colorectal cancer. ColonCancerCheck will do this by expanding access to screening and supporting physicians and other health care providers to screen participants.

As part of the program we are pleased to offer a branded website – www.ColonCancerCheck.ca . We hope that you have had a chance to visit the public and provider portions of the site.

On this site, health care providers will find the essential information and program details needed to bring ColonCancerCheck to Ontarians. Together, we can help more individuals access colorectal cancer screening, and ultimately reduce the lives lost to this disease.
