This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of two different reminder modalities in improving adherence to annual CRC screening.

1. Control arm: No reminder
a. Intervention Type: No intervention
2. Arm 2: Automated phone reminder
a. Intervention Type: Standard reminder via phone (audiocare)
3. Arm 3: Text reminder a. Intervention Type: Standard reminder via text (VEText)
Randomization will be stratified within arms by prior screening status (prior screener vs. never screener)
