Pancakes, Prostates, and Prevention

Did you know:

  • One in 7 African American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and a greater percentage die of the disease. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in African American men.

  • Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men and in non-Hispanic Black men.

  • About 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older, and it is rare in men under 40.

  • The average age of men at diagnosis is about 66.

The Lynn Institute, and our community partners, are promoting the importance of men taking care of their health, and celebrating National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month with this special men's health event.

Join us for a no-cost pancake breakfast and important men's health screenings, education, wellness resources, and plenty of door prizes.
