Charles Williams Prostate Cancer Mobile Unit is to encourage African-Americans to respond to an urgent call for action regarding prostate cancer. Black American men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer and three times more likely to die from the illness than other American men. The stage of detection for black men is usually later than their white counterparts, thus, limiting treatment options. The mobile unit will offer both testing procedures needed to detect prostate cancer in men. Available across the state of Indiana, the unit will house a medical testing station for PSA (prostate specific antigen) screenings and digital rectal exams, as well as Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index (based on weight and height), Diabetes, Cholesterol, HIV, and Osteoporosis. All inquiries should be sent to the Marion County Health Department c/o the Rev. Charles Williams Prostate Cancer Mobile Unit via e-mail prcancer@hhcorp.org or fax (317) 221-2130.
