In honour of Black History Month, our February 2022 Coast to Coast meeting was presented in partnership with the Walnut Foundation, a Men’s Health Interest and Prostate Support Group working with the Black Community in identifying the needs of Black Men in the areas of health and related issues.
This meeting was dedicated to talking about the disproportionate impact of prostate cancer in Black men in Canada and what this looks like from a clinical perspective.
