As part of our commitment to community service and outreach, faculty from the Duke Department of Urology participated in events hosted by the Durham County Department of Public Health to celebrate Men’s Health Month.
Dr. Gary Faerber, Dr. Judd Moul, and Dr. Thomas Polascik helped out at the Men’s Health Screening on June 1-2. The annual event is aimed at helping improve the health outcomes of men in the community. The Office of Health Equity, Duke Primary Care-Croasdaile, and Lincoln Community Health Center (a local federally qualified health center), collaborate to increase awareness of, and screen for, prostate, skin, and colon cancers.
On June 17, Dr. Aaron Lentz was the guest speaker at the Men’s Health Council Urology Forum. Dr. Lentz presented "Urological Disorders: What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You! A Conversation for Men Only," which focused on men's health issues, particularly the identification, prevention, and treatment of conditions specific to men. He also emphasized the importance of fellowship and community on building healthy habits. Nearly 70 men attended the event.
