COLONTOWN’s Resource Fairs provide an introduction to programs and services offered by partner organizations. These virtual events focus on topics of interest to our community members, with an emphasis on supportive and practical issues.
Partner organizations are invited to present an introduction to their programs for patients and caregivers. The video and associated resource guides are then posted in COLONTOWN University for all to access.
The Resource Fair program, launched in 2023, has been popular with audiences and partners alike. PALTOWN has made connections with a wide range of partners through these events, and highlighted many valuable programs for patients and caregivers.
