Mall shoppers and area residents will be able to take a walk through a colon while learning about colorectal cancer Thursday, February 28, when the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Super Colon exhibit comes to Plymouth Meeting Mall. 

To launch National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, mall shoppers and the community are invited to wind their way through the inflatable, 20-foot-long, eight-foot high, interactive Super Colon, which will be located near the mall’s food court, on Thursday, February 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  This educational tool helps explain that colorectal cancer is preventable and treatable.

A physician from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will also be available to speak with and have any questions answered about colorectal cancer.
