Blue flags in front of our hospital remind us of the need for #coloncancer screening. The 2nd leading cause of U.S. cancer deaths is also one of the most treatable. If you're 45+, have a family history, or have any symptoms, be sure to #GetScreened. #ColonCancerAwarenessMonth

20 years ago, the Human Genome Project was finalized -- yet two decades on we are still missing the genetic information of most of the planet. From the BBC's 'Beyond the Genome Series,' where we are with these genome gaps: bbc.com/future/article… #BBCFuture #HumanGenomeProject

During #MedicalGeneticsAwareness Week, we're joining the @TheACMG in celebrating the skills and commitment of all of those in healthcare who translate #genetics and #genomics discoveries into better #patientcare and #publichealth
