For Brown Surgical Associates surgeons Steven Schechter, MD, Adam Klipfel, MD, and Leslie Roth, MD, as well as the entire colorectal surgery team, the battle against colorectal cancer is fought all year long, not just in March during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
That dedication and determination in eradicating this deadly disease is why these three surgeons earlier this month were honored at the Rhode Island State House, along with Dr. Harlan Rich of Brown Physicians, Inc. and Mathew Boudreau of the Rhode Island Department of Health.
State Rep. Megan Cotter also introduced a resolution in support of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. She shared why, for her, the fight against colorectal cancer is a personal one. Her father passed away from the disease a few years ago.
