Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week Begins

Today begins Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week

CCFA is proud to announce that the Senate has passed a resolution to make December 1 – 7 Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week! This is an important step toward recognizing the 1.4 million Americans living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and it commends the dedication of health care professionals and biomedical researchers.

“The passage of this resolution will give hope to the millions of Americans, including a growing number of young children, who struggle with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis that we will continue to focus our attention on these very difficult diseases,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

What better way to celebrate than by raising awareness? You can take action by asking your legislators to join the Congressional Caucus in the House. And if you haven’t already, be sure to “like” us on Facebook and follow on Twitter for more Awareness Week updates.
