CCRAN works to inform patients, caregivers and concerned citizens of the issues and challenges facing colorectal cancer patients in Ontario and Canada. Once informed about the obstacles that prohibit patients from receiving the best care (i.e. breakthrough treatments, clinical trials), we collectively act on these injustices through letter-writing campaigns, petitions, lobbying, etc.
The goal of our advocacy work is to ensure the government and other healthcare bodies and organizations understand and respond to the needs of colorectal cancer patients
