Sharing my story with others in our community has started a much-needed conversation to let the men know the importance of early testing. We will continue to use our voices as volunteer champions to get men tested and the help that they need.

Overcoming Barriers to Prostate Cancer Care in Our Community

Everyone deserves a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive prostate cancer — no matter where you live, or what your race, sexual orientation, financial resources, or physical abilities are. Together we are unstoppable: building a community of support, raising awareness, and creating solutions to achieve health equity to meet the most critical needs of our community.

Achieving Health Equity

Peer support is a click away

Join a support group to share experiences and gain support from others in your area who have also been affected by prostate cancer. Virtual support groups are available, groups that serve specific communities including Women and Caregivers, Black men, LGBTQIA+, deaf and hard of hearing, and those grieving the the loss of a loved one to prostate cancer.

Free Screening Near You

Free screenings are often part of community events, though several county or state health departments also offer free screening for those who qualify.

Early detection can save your life, and many hereditary and occupational factors can increase your chances of having prostate cancer.

Talk to your doctor about getting tested, and see nearby locations where you might qualify for free psa screening.
