The fair will be held at Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, 498 English Ave. and offer several types of preventive screenings. It will specifically target men and the medically underserved, who are at greater risk for developing prostate cancer.
Doctors will provide information, education and screening services to empower people in the areas of health, wellness and nutrition to address health disparities. For more information, call 404-880-6870 or log in at www.ccrtd.cau.edu.
