COLONTOWN University Learning Centers

Learning for Life

Our Learning Centers are created by colorectal cancer patients and caregivers, for colorectal cancer patients and caregivers. 

We hope that you will find the resources here helpful — but they are just a start! To talk about anything you learn here, and to connect with thousands of others who share your experiences,  please join our private Facebook community, COLONTOWN.

COLONTOWN University and COLONTOWN are brought to you by PALTOWN, a nonprofit dedicated to creating communities of empowered, educated patients and caregivers.
