Description

In January 2007, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, in collaboration with Cancer Care Ontario, announced a $193.5-million investment over five years to establish a colorectal cancer screening program, called ColonCancerCheck.

In 2008, CEP in partnership with all relevant provincial professional bodies (OCFP, NPAO, RNAO, etc.) designed and developed a clinical toolkit and supporting evidence table to promote colon cancer screening and the ColonCancerCheck program in particular. This toolkit was distributed to all primary care providers in the province.
