Our mission is to improve the quality of life for BIPOC who are affected by IBD, Digestive Disorders and associated Chronic Illnesses; through Community, Research, Education, and Advocacy.
We're excited to announce a new opportunity for the COGI Community to strengthen their advocacy skills and make a real difference for the Digestive Disease community throughout the year!
There are more black history facts than days in the year, giving us the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of so many that came before us. The strength and fortitude alone should be a reminder that we are our ancestor's wildest dreams.
