Our Healthy Men is a presentation of The Prostate Cancer Coalition and RareGem Productions. the The Prostate Cancer Coalition is a coalition of healthcare providers and survivors in the St Louis region that have come together to advocate smart screening for African-American men and men with strong family histories of prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Coalition supports the idea that there should be a discussion about the risks and benefits of screening beginning at the age of 45 for African-American men and younger if there's a strong family history.
