Promoting colorectal cancer awareness activities across the Americas

Olympus Corporation of the Americas (OCA) implements activities during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March and throughout the year that are dedicated to raising awareness internally and externally about colorectal cancer and the Olympus Group's commitment to prevention detection and treatment. Our goal is for employees to understand the Olympus Group's role in combating colorectal cancer and drive awareness amongst the public to understand the importance of early detection and know the national recommended screening age. We are dedicated to raising awareness about colorectal cancer and promoting prevention, detection, and treatment. We provide our employees and the public with education about preventative measures, diagnostic screenings, and life-saving procedures. Through key partnerships, we support organizations that are on the frontline of combating colorectal cancer and providing access to underserved communities. Our objectives consist of three impact goals; reduce the number of colorectal cancer deaths, raise general awareness about colorectal cancer and screening and increase employee engagement in support of this cause.
