Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program

Who is Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program?

This program, part of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, works to improve the lives of patients and their loved ones by providing at-home help, childcare, transportation, access to support groups and patient care services offered within Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Established by Sharon Osbourne following her own battle with colon cancer, the SOCCP's long-term goal is to establish an ever-widening array of screening and educational opportunities. Sharon Osbourne says, "Colon Cancer is a particularly invidious disease. If caught in time, the treatments can be highly effective - but they are not fun for anyone and can be out of reach financially for too many. When I saw people taking the public bus after chemotherapy treatment, I knew I had to get involved."
