COLONTOWN Neighborhoods - Colontown.org

COLONTOWN has more than 80 “secret” groups on Facebook for colorectal cancer patients and survivors. We call these groups neighborhoods, and each one has a focus that connects all its members, from stage of disease to treatment type to common interests such as diet or women’s issues. Once you join COLONTOWN, you can join any of its neighborhoods that fit your needs and interests. Because all the neighborhoods are secret, no one outside the neighborhood can see anything about it, including who belongs. They are safe, private spaces for you to “find your people!”

This list of neighborhoods is current as of July, 2018. New neighborhoods are created whenever we have the interest among our neighbors in COLONTOWN!

If this sounds like a place you’d like to belong, please fill out the form at Join COLONTOWN and we’ll be in touch!
