UPPER NYACK, N.Y.: The Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF) and Guardant Health today announced a new partnership aimed at improving public understanding of colorectal cancer and encouraging timely screening through trusted, patient-centered education.

Colorectal cancer remains one of the most treatable cancers when caught early; yet, millions of eligible adults are not up to date with their recommended screening due in part to a lack of awareness on available screening options, limited access, time constraints and other challenges.

Through this collaboration, GHLF and Guardant Health will work together to raise awareness on the importance of early detection by amplifying patient and clinician voices, and highlighting the growing range of accessible screening options - including emerging, less-invasive tests that may help more people get screened.

“Our shared goal is simple: empower people with clear, trusted information so they can take steps that support their long-term health,” said Seth Ginsberg, Co-Founder and President of GHLF. “By elevating real experiences and removing stigma or confusion around screening, we hope to help more individuals get screened on time.”

“Improving our nation’s screening adherence gap requires us to work together across the healthcare ecosystem to make sure more people are screened earlier when cancer is more treatable and chances of survival are higher," said Dr. Craig Eagle, Chief Medical Officer at Guardant Health. “I’m eager to see the impact of today’s partnership in driving higher screening rates by empowering patients to stay up to date with their potentially lifesaving screenings.”

Together, the organizations will collaborate on educational initiatives designed to support public health, reduce disparities in cancer prevention, and broaden awareness of - and access to - screening options that may fit different needs and circumstances and enable more individuals to take action.
