Thank you @DMGrayMD for writing about the connection between diabetes & colorectal cancer. In 2018 we added screening for diabetes, hypertension & colorectal cancer to our Blue Hat Bow Tie Sunday awareness event. Minority communities are at higher risk for this link #disparities

If you find out about a nation-threatening pandemic and your first move is to adjust your stock portfolio you should probably not be in a job that serves the public interest.

Ye Eun Kwak, @UChicagoGI - very nice study telling us a sizeable % of pts aren’t aware they are obese. A main factor is lack of doctor’s education on weight! We need to learn how to provide counseling on this topic in a sensitive manner - great work! @guildconference #GUILD2020
