We could save thousands of lives every year if everyone over 50 was screened. That is why it is so important that our communities learn more about colon and rectal cancer. One of our priorities is to raise awareness about cancer prevention among our new immigrant and medically underserved populations, who lack easy access to health information in their native languages. ECHO fills that void in Minnesota, and we are thrilled to partner with them in this unique venture.

SURVEY RESULTS
We believe that it is important to listen to the voice of those who use ECHO materials, whether they are community members or work for organizations that serve Minnesota's refugee and immigrant communities. To better understand need within the community, we produce and circulate a survey to the community, ECHO partners and stakeholders, other organizations. This helps us to gather information on the types of health, safety, emergency, and civic topics ECHO should pursue funding for in the coming year.
