HCB2’s Mission

Hitting Cancer Below the Belt (HCB2) is dedicated to colon health and colorectal (colon and rectal) cancer prevention. Our mission is to defeat colorectal cancer by providing access to screening services and education that moves people from awareness to action.

Specifically, we are focused on providing colorectal cancer screening programs for the underserved community, offering colon health education to the larger community by utilizing engaging methods of outreach, and collaborating with medical partners to augment clincial interventions to advance the mission of defeating colorectal cancer. By offering educational, screening and supportive rescoures along with hosting events, we are able to break through screening barriers and turn our mission into measurable change.

Our vision is to build and bridge resources in an effort to create a community where cancer is challenged to survive. Working with local, state, and national cancer organizations allows HCB2 to make a larger impact in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Established in 2013 after the founder’s husband passed away due to colorectal cancer, HCB2 has served tens of thousands of community members and provided leadership in raising the level of conversation about our country’s number one cancer-killer in young people under the age of 50.
