In the past they had two men’s health forums for the under-served community. They have canceled one and have removed at least part of the prostate cancer component for one of them. They have cut-backs in staff who do outreach to the community. In discussions with other state coalitions they have been experiencing similar pull-backs for prostate cancer. They do have the Man to Man programs and several programs for breast cancer, including a patient navigator program. They fund research and I know they have worked with internal medicine specialists to develop a program to educate African American men about prostate cancer.

80% of their money is spent on colon, breast and lung cancer issues. Those are their priorities. They are also focused on pain and nutrition.
