World Digestive Health Day 2024

Your Digestive Health: Make It a Priority

The College is honored to join the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) in observing World Digestive Health Day (WDHD) on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, with the theme of “Your Digestive Health: Make It a Priority.” ACG supports WGO in its objectives to provide the public with information about the pivotal role of the digestive system in overall health, empowering patients to proactively manage their well-being to mitigate the risk of gastrointestinal disorders and associated complications.

Resources for Patients and Physicians: Watch. Listen. Learn.

The College’s commitment to making digestive health a priority includes developing clinical guidelines for physicians, providing the most up-to-date recommendations to guide physicians in treating digestive diseases and conditions. ACG also develops one-page health information handouts for patients using simple language.

Below are resources related to the most recent (2023 and 2024) guidelines and links to patient handouts that can be downloaded and shared or printed.
