Prostate Health Equity Project

Knowing your family history can change the conversation about your health.

Ms. Debra Nevels reminds us that early screening matters for prostate, breast and colore**al cancers, but so does being open about the health history within our families.

What did your parents experience? Your grandparents? Your siblings? These are conversations worth having and information worth sharing honestly with your healthcare provider. The more we know about our family history, the better conversations we can have about risk, screening and prevention.

That’s the kind of conversation we want to continue at Game Plan for Life this Thursday, September 24, from 5:30–8:30 PM at Summer of ’85.

Join us for men’s health education, free PSA screenings, food, resources, fellowship and the Packers vs. Falcons watch party.

Talk to your family. Know your history. Know your risk.

Registration is encouraged. Link in bio.

We’re getting closer to Game Plan for Life!

Marquayla Ellison (Ellastic Designs, LLC.) is helping us spread the word and inviting Milwaukee to come out for an evening centered on men’s health, community and connection.

Join us Thursday, September 24 from 5:30–8:30 PM at Summer of ’85 for a prostate health conversation, free PSA screenings, food, resources, fellowship and the Packers vs. Falcons watch party.

Bring a brother, friend, father, uncle or someone you care about. Let’s make men’s health part of the conversation.

Registration is encouraged. Link in bio!

Relax, it’s a blood test.

One of the biggest barriers to prostate cancer screening can simply be what men think screening involves.

A PSA test is a simple blood test that can be used to help screen for prostate cancer. A re**al exam may still be used in some situations, but it does not have to be the starting point.

We appreciate the NFL’s “Relax, It’s a Blood Test” campaign for helping challenge outdated perceptions and getting more men talking about prostate health.

And here in Milwaukee, we’re bringing that conversation directly to the community.

Join PHEP for Game Plan for Life: Men’s Health Gathering & Watch Party on Thursday, September 24 from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at Summer of ’85, 2213 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Come out for a prostate health conversation, free PSA screenings, food, resources, fellowship and the Packers vs. Falcons watch party.

Know your risk. Ask about your PSA. Bring a brother with you.

Prostate cancer awareness is a global conversation, and the work happening in the UK is another reminder of what’s possible when we continue bringing men’s health into the open.

Appreciate for highlighting the importance of awareness, education and encouraging men to take their health seriously.

Here in Milwaukee, PHEP is working toward that same goal by creating trusted spaces for Black men to learn about prostate health, understand their risk and feel empowered to have these conversations earlier.

Different communities. Same mission. More informed men and healthier futures.

Health happens in community too.

A little look back at our time at the annual weblackwegolf event. Good people, good energy and another opportunity to connect with men outside of the traditional healthcare setting.

For the Prostate Health Equity Project, showing up in spaces like this matters. Conversations about prostate health do not always have to start in a doctor’s office. Sometimes they start on the golf course, at a community event, or simply among brothers talking about life and health.

That is part of what PHEP is about. Meeting men where they are, building trust and making conversations about prevention, screening and healthier living a normal part of our community.

Appreciate WeBlackWeGolf for creating a space centered on fellowship, activity and community.

Keep moving. Keep connecting. Keep the conversation going.
