Talked with Dr. Kiminyo, Vice President T Leroy Jefferson Medical Society.  They have a community education initiative going on now regarding Prostate Cancer awareness.  November has the Movember movement which focuses on Men's health issues such as: mental health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and colorectal cancer. Young black men show a higher risk of suicide, so awareness is super important, 988 crisis line is available for help at anytime. Black men are also at higher risk for prostate cancer and should be screened at 45 instead of 55.  They run a PSA test that measures the level of PSA in the blood.  Imaging may also be used if levels are high.  Colorectal screenings are also important, listeners can talk with their doctors about all of these issues.  They can request an education seminar from TLJ by going to https://tljmedicalsociety.org.
