Good Samaritan Medical Center has partnered with the Brockton Area Branch NAACP and AdMeTech on a Prostate Cancer Awareness Event on September 27, 2018. This event is free and open to the public and is designed to reach those at risk for Prostate Cancer. Dinner will be served.
Jason Zauls, MD, Cancer Program Medical Director at Good Samaritan Medical Center will be joined by Richard McArdle, MD, Urologist and Medical Center Board Member, along with other guest speakers as they share their experience and expertise.
According to the Massachusetts Statewide 2017-2021 Cancer Plan published January 2017 by the MA Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control Network, the leading cause of cancer deaths among men in Massachusetts can be attributed to Prostate Cancer. It is no exception here in the Brockton area, with black men receiving a diagnosis 60% more often than caucasian men with a mortality rate that is 2.3 times more frequent.
Our partners at AdMeTech are passionate about getting the word out about the importance of screening and education and together with them, and the Brockton Area Branch NAACP, we have created this special event to bring awareness to our community.
