Quidel’s easy-to-use, rapid diagnostic test is used to screen patients to detect the presence of blood in stool specimens. Blood in stool is an indication of a number of gastrointestinal disorders, including colorectal cancer.
Through the Susie’s Cause “Save Our Parents” program, numerous children will be educated on the risks of colon cancer through field trips with local schools to the Body Worlds event. The “Save Our Parents” program promotes preventative screening by providing students a thorough understanding of all aspects of colorectal cancer, with the hopes that the students of all ages will educate their parents and family members on the benefits of colorectal cancer screening.
“Quidel is dedicated to raising awareness and educating families on the importance of identifying colorectal cancer,” states Caren Mason, president and CEO of Quidel. “By working with Susie’s Cause, we are extending our reach into the community and hope to continue to provide a solution for identifying colorectal cancer in its earlier stages and to help promote the importance of screening for this devastating disease.”
The QuickVue® iFOB test and the Susie’s Cause informational exhibit will be on display at the Maryland Science Center on the following dates:
March 6 - 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
March 7 - 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
