A survivor’s encouragement

Men, get checked. Your health matters.

Bishop Marcus Pollard, a lung cancer survivor, is speaking to the men in our community with an important reminder: men can get breast cancer too.

Drawing on his own experience, he encourages men to make time for regular checkups and talk with their doctor about their health and recommended screenings.

Take that first step. Make the appointment. Encourage a man you love to do the same.
