Prostate Cancer Awareness & Domestic Violence Awareness

It's all about Men’s Health and Awareness! In the first hour, we spoke about the importance of Prostate Cancer Awareness with the men of Omega Psi Phi and their health event. The Basilus, Terry Strickland spoke from firsthand knowledge as a prostate cancer survivor. Dr. Justin Emtage promoted the significance of frequent screenings, while Darrick Adams from Advent Health stated the purpose of the event was to promote awareness and provide FREE PSA screenings. Joel George of Advent Health and Orlando Magic Health talked about why the center was in Parramore and the need to provide more health screening for that population. He also spoke about the importance of positive bedside manners and emphasized the need for a creative patient-physician relationship. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Prostate Cancer Awareness Health Event is February 4th 2PM to 4:30PM at the Advent Health Training Center 25 South Terry Avenue Orlando, FL 32805.

Harbor House is an organization that works to prevent and eliminate domestic abuse in Central Florida as well as guiding the way for safer communities. Deputy Chief of Administrative Services Anthony Watts shares that from the statistics of those they have housed, 50% are children. Michelle Plant Kroupa emphasized the importance of helping in every situation they can. Harbor House is hosting their 11th Annual Walk A Mile in Her Shoes, an event that raises awareness of domestic abuse and the resources that are available to survivors. Join on February 8th, 5PM to 7:30PM.
