Moffitt Cancer Center - Men's Health Forum

What is it?

The Men's Health Forum is an annual community health promotion event that provides health screenings, health education, and resources to participants in both English and Spanish.

Who is it for?

Medically underserved men (those who are uninsured, underinsured, or do not have a regular health care provider) in Tampa Bay.

Why do they do it?

The goal is to address health disparities in the community due to lack of awareness and education about certain diseases, lack of information regarding methods of prevention and early detection, and less access to quality health care opportunities.

Impact

In the past 11 years, more than 10,000 men have participated in the health screenings offered at the Men's Health Forum. Men identified with adverse outcomes were navigated to the appropriate health care facility.
