Prostate Cancer Awareness and Health Equity in Urban Communities

Empowering Lives Through Early Detection and Education

Understanding Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, and early detection plays a critical role in successful treatment and survival. Unfortunately, African American men face a significantly higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to other populations. At the Isaiah Marshall Foundation, we are committed to addressing these disparities by raising awareness and providing accessible health resources for early detection.

The Importance of Early Detection

Prostate cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular screenings essential.

 

Early detection can:

  • Save lives by catching cancer before it spreads.

  • Provide more treatment options for better outcomes.

  • Reduce the financial and emotional burden of late-stage treatment.

​

Through our Neighborhood Screening Centers, we offer free prostate cancer screenings in urban communities, ensuring that underserved populations have access to life-saving tests and preventative care.

Health Equity in Urban Communities

Our foundation focuses on promoting health equity by addressing the unique challenges faced by underserved neighborhoods.

 

We aim to eliminate barriers to healthcare through:

  • Free Health Screenings: Conveniently located centers provide no-cost prostate cancer testing and other vital services.

  • Health Education Programs: Workshops and digital campaigns educate individuals about prostate cancer prevention strategies and the importance of routine screenings.

  • Community Outreach: By collaborating with local organizations, we’re reaching more people and fostering a culture of proactive health management.

Our Impact

Since its inception, the Isaiah Marshall Foundation has been a beacon of hope for African American men and their families.

 

Our efforts are helping to:

  • Raise awareness about prostate cancer risks and prevention.

  • Empower individuals to take charge of their health.

  • Bridge gaps in healthcare access for underserved communities.
