(VALLEY STREAM, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Scott M. Davis (D – Rockville Centre) joined Northwell Health’s LIJ Valley Stream Hospital, SoulJoy Wellness, and the Uzo Felix Health Foundation for a prostate cancer awareness breakfast at the hospital on Saturday, March 15. The event was held to support Black men’s health by promoting early detection, encouraging healthy lifestyle changes, and informing men about opportunities to access care.
“With early detection, treatment for prostate cancer is highly effective – especially for Black men who have a higher risk of being impacted by this disease,” Legislator Davis said. “I was particularly moved by the panelists who shared their personal stories, and their journeys illustrated why it is essential to get tested regularly. I thank Northwell Health LIJ Valley Stream Hospital, SoulJoy Wellness, and the Uzo Felix Health Foundation for partnering to host this informative and life-saving event.”
