To that end we worked over 25 Health Fairs regionally, distributing symptom awareness cards and by having one on one conversation with women in attendance. We further promoted awareness of the symptoms electronically through website content and newsletters, as well as through printed materials. We connected both personally and or through mail with 200 medical facilities in both rural and frontier areas of Colorado to make them aware of the services and resources COCA provides to women stricken with Ovarian Cancer. Further, we sponsored Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Colorado and were sucessful in getting symptom awarenes messages out through local television news, through social media and other printed materials.”
