Colon Education Initiative

The Federal Government has reopened COVIDtests.gov. Every household can order four over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free. These tests are intended for use throughout the 2024 holiday season to detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants. Please visit COVIDtests.gov for your free test.

St Francis Care has begun a Colon Education Initiative to increase colorectal cancer screening across Connecticut. Participants are being asked to complete a quiz containing 10 questions. One hundred winners will be randomly chosen from completed entries to win a $50 Stop and Shop gift card. Participants may enter online at www.ColonCancerQuiz.org or mail entries to:

114 Woodland Street

MS# 20908

Hartford, CT 06105

This initiative is completely independent of the Department of Public Health. The best source of information regarding colorectal cancer is your personal physician. If you would like some information regarding colorectal cancer facts and/or screening sites, one of our staff members will be able to provide this information for you.
