Pancake Competition kicks off Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Colon Cancer Awareness Month started off in a tasty way! Administrators at CoxHealth were challenged by the Colorectal Surgeons to see who could make the most delicious pancake.

Participants paid $5 for a plateful of pancakes that included a savory sausage ingredient, chocolate chips and one with Nutella and jam. Once eaten, attendees voted on their favorites with the winning team taking the trophy home. This year’s winning team was the Administrators, which included CEO Max Buetow, Chief Medical Officer Shawn Usery and Cardiology Administrator Director Dr. Curtis Mattson. The event raised over $3,000 for the Colo-Rectal Awareness Program at the CoxHealth Foundation. This program provides free colonoscopies to patients who need this important prevention screening, but are unable to afford it. To learn more about the program contact us at [email protected].
