About Me
Ms. Brown, a Montana native, had a healthy career as a corporate executive search professional until - at age 58 – she was diagnosed with late-stage colorectal cancer. Treatment completed, her interests refocused upon the undeveloped niche of disease-specific patient empowerment. Recently founding the PALTOWN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION, the firm clientele includes the global organizational leader in colorectal cancer: Colon Cancer Alliance. The CCA supports the first PAL creation, COLONTOWN, an online, deeply engaged community dedicated to CRC patients and family members. COLONTOWN provides a successful template and model for community-building for other disease states. Brown is grateful, empowered, and disease-free - 13 years later. COLONTOWN: vetted and led by a patient with this specific experience. Neighborhoods include: 1. THE FOUR CORNERS - exclusively for stage iv Colorectal Cancer patients and survivors 2.. RECTALBURGH - rectal cancer patients/survivors 3. HIPEC HEIGHTS - for those looking for helpful conversation and experience with this specialized treatment (HIPEC) 4. HEALTHY GUT CAFE - staffed by professional nutritionist and patient, daily eating advice is dispensed here for this group 5. ANALWISE - magnificent support for those affected by anal cancer 6.. N2Y - Under 40 Avenue - patients/survivors diagnosed under 40 years of age 7. BLUE HOPE CLINIC - people who want to learn as much as possible about relevant CLINICAL TRIALS. 8.
