Providing affordable, high quality healthcare to our neighbors is a major focus at CitySquare, and by working with companies like DHAT, we are able to continue this important work that our community so desperately needs,” said Shawn Wills, chief development officer of CitySquare.“We are delighted to have an opportunity to develop an event like this in the DFW area, where there is currently no other fundraising event that focuses specifically on colon cancer. CitySquare’s commitment to helping those in need receive life-saving preventative screenings, reflects our commitment to promoting the awareness and education of colon cancer, while providing exceptional, cost-effective care for all of North Texas,” said Dr. Paul Zopolsky, president of DHAT.
