About Us
The Colon Cancer Prevention Network is a group of 12 CCPN centers with convenient online and over-the-phone scheduling and more than 115 independent outpatient surgery centers which collectively perform almost half a million colonoscopies per year. Each center is staffed by expert local gastroenterologists and nurses who are trained to deliver personalized, high quality digestive health care. All are affiliated with AmSurg Corp., America's leader in specialized outpatient surgery centers with a patient satisfaction rating over 99%. AmSurg is a publicly held health-care company which has specialized in the delivery of surgical services in the outpatient setting since 1993.
When you choose one of our outpatient surgery centers, you'll find that the process is much more convenient than at a hospital as well as more personal. Here, our environment is relaxed and inviting with individualized care. Our staff is specialized in their field and will make sure your visit goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.
As a patient of the Colon Cancer Prevention Network, colon cancer stops with you.
