On Thursday, hundreds of men headed to the Cleveland Clinic’s 13th Annual Minority Men’s Health Fair for free health screenings and education. The event was held at the Glickman Tower lobby at the Cleveland Clinic main campus.
“We’re not always able to have the insurance behind us to get things that we need done. So I think when the opportunity comes, we should take advantage of it,” said Jason Moorman, of Cleveland.
The health fair included free health seminars and information on topics, including prostate cancer, kidney function, hypertension, stroke prevention, smoking cessation, health and nutrition, exercise and wellness, organ donation, sports health, reproductive health, pain management and colorectal cancer.
“Prostate cancer tends to be more aggressive in African-American males, hence the need to screen. Early detection efforts are warranted,” said Dr. Charles Modlin with the Cleveland Clinic.
