Goal

The goal of our project is to ensure that men and women in our community are aware that early detection of breast and prostate cancer through regular breast self examinations, scheduled mammogram and clinical breast examination and annual Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing could greatly reduce the seriousness of breast and prostate cancer in our population, if they are practiced more widely.

How we plan to achieve this

Material is aimed at giving men and women the facts they need to stay healthy and remind them that The Best Protection is Early Detection in the fight against breast and prostate cancer.
