Promoting Men's Health: Join the Prostate Cancer Awareness Expo
Join Us for the 2nd Annual Men's Health Screening & Prostate Cancer Expo
Engage in a pivotal discussion focused on men's health and prostate cancer awareness. This year’s expo features free prostate cancer screenings, expert-led discussions, and complimentary lunch, aiming to enhance community understanding of the disease's impact on men’s lives.
Understanding Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer continues to affect numerous men across the nation, with 1 in 8 facing a diagnosis in their lifetime. Early detection is paramount, as it can lead to a nearly 100% 5-year survival rate when identified in the initial stages. This is especially critical for African American men who have a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes from the disease.
What to Expect at the Expo
Set your calendars for a vital event centered around men’s health. Experience the following on Saturday, May 17, at the Urban League of Greater Madison:
Free Health Screenings
Receive a comprehensive free 7-point men's blood screening that includes tests for Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), testosterone levels, cholesterol, and more. These screenings are essential for risk assessment and early diagnosis.
Expert Discussions
Attend informative talks featuring healthcare professionals discussing various topics, including the importance of primary care, the latest prostate cancer treatment options, and life after a prostate cancer diagnosis. Hear from cancer survivors and experts who will share valuable insights and updates on research.
The Importance of Education and Community Engagement
It's essential to bridge the gap in knowledge regarding prostate cancer and health outcomes, particularly in communities disproportionately affected. By enhancing awareness and providing resources, we empower men to take charge of their health proactively. Join us to foster community relations and dialogue that can lead to better health outcomes.

Doors open from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with continuous screenings available throughout the event. Notable sessions to look out for include a survivor's story and talks from leading medical professionals on prostate health and treatments.
