Dr. Lorna Fitzpatrick, Senior Medical Director at Univera Healthcare, recently joined Dr. Steven Nurkin, Chief of Colorectal Surgery and Chief Value Officer at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and colorectal cancer survivor and event organizer Lindsay Riggs on Daytime Buffalo to discuss the importance of colorectal cancer awareness, screening, and early detection. Together, they shared a simple but powerful message: Get screened when recommended and listen to your body.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through screening, yet many people delay getting checked. That's why we're proud to support Get Your Rear in Gear Buffalo, a family-friendly 5K run/walk that brings our community together to raise awareness, celebrate survivors, honor loved ones, and encourage lifesaving conversations about colorectal cancer.

🌱🥕🍅 This spring, Univera Healthcare employees received seed packets and were encouraged to grow their own vegetables. Over the summer, they tended their gardens and recently brought in the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor to help support local families. Employees without gardens joined in as well, donating fresh produce purchased locally or vegetables grown by friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

The effort became a true community endeavor, bringing together employees and their extended networks to help make healthy food more accessible. Thanks to their generosity, fresh produce was donated to Community Access Services of WNY helping provide nutritious options for those who need them most. 💚
