CEHSID Inc.Prostate Cancer Mini Symposium,Thursday July 26th 2018

Prostate Health education is critical in combatting cancer disparities among high risk populations and men who lack the resources to help themselves. It is important that men, their families and friends be informed because it creates a support network and alarm system of pre-caution and preventive health. Many men wait until it is too late to have better options to treat prostate cancer. Sometimes encouragement from spouses, friends or someone of influence in the man’s life helps with the decision factor to seek help, screening, test or treatment.

This Symposium gives men the opportunity to ask questions, discuss options and also information about new developments in treating prostate cancer. It also bring men together to share experiences and testimonies. The sharing of best practices and resources among men’s health organizations or agencies is also very beneficial to symposium participants.

The Speaker at the CEHSID Inc. Prostate Cancer Symposium will be Dalton A. Skerritt a men’s health educator and community leader that has supported community and government programs to improve the health of men, women and children for over 20 years.
