Springfield Clinic’s Colon and Rectal Surgery Department is proud supporters of the Get Your Rear in Gear website. The Colon Cancer Coalition and Get Your Rear in Gear events raise awareness for colon cancer and help support those affected by the disease. President and Founder of the Colon Cancer Coalition, Kristin Tabor, describes it best: “"Get Your Rear in Gear” is bigger then just a message for colon cancer; it is a message for all of us to take action, lead longer healthier lives, go to the doctor regularly, to listen to our bodies when something isn’t right and to get the right answers, regardless of age.” To learn more about Get Your Rear in Gear or the Colon Cancer Coalition please visit www.GetYourRearInGear.com.
