Men's Wellness Council

Description

The Conversation Could Save a Life.

Guest Speaker Dr. Richmond Hill

ZERO Prostate Cancer 

ZERO Prostate Cancer is the leading national nonprofit dedicated to ending prostate cancer and supporting men and families through awareness, research, advocacy, and patient support. Dr. Richmond Hill, a prostate cancer survivor and founder of the fundraising team Hill’s Heroes, partners with ZERO to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and provide hope and resources for those affected by the disease. 

Prostate cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting men, yet many men delay screenings, avoid conversations about symptoms, or simply do not prioritize preventive healthcare. The impact is especially significant among Black men, who experience higher incidence and mortality rates from prostate cancer than their white counterparts.

This session will explore how employers, community leaders, healthcare providers, and men themselves can help close this gap through awareness, education, and early detection.

Meeting Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will:

• Understand the current landscape of prostate cancer and men’s health outcomes.
• Learn why Black men face disproportionately higher prostate cancer mortality rates.
• Discuss barriers that prevent men from seeking preventive care.
• Explore how businesses can support men’s health through workplace wellness initiatives.
• Identify practical strategies for encouraging screening, education, and early intervention.

**This event welcomes anyone interested in exploring the connection between health, wellness, and professional success.**
