Mr. Morgan, who recently turned 45, was joined by his friends Alfred Cayasso and Ronnie Stewart to get the procedure done together. 

In documenting his colonoscopy, Mr. Morgan aims to normalize health discussions among men, according to People. He was also motivated by the fact that there is a higher rate of colon cancer and rectal cancer incidents among African Americans.

“Men, we go to the barbershop together, the bar together, sports games together, bachelor parties together, but we don’t go to the doctor together,” Mr. Morgan told People. “When it comes to something that can save our life, everybody in the room is quiet. We don’t talk about it.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
