HOWARD UNIVERSITY CANCER CENTER EXPANDS COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH FREE PROSTATE CANCER HEALTH FAIR

Howard University Cancer Center’s “Men Take Ten” program recently partnered with Emmanuel Health Education (EHE) to raise awareness and promote early detection during the Free Prostate Cancer Health Fair.

The event was held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Largo/Kettering/Perrywood Community Center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and brought together local healthcare providers, prostate cancer survivors, and advocacy groups to share information and resources with the community. As part of the event, the Howard University Cancer Center’s Mobile Health Unit provided free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screenings to 59 men, helping them make informed decisions about screening and early detection.

This outreach effort strengthened the ongoing partnership between HUCC and community organizations working to address and reduce prostate cancer disparities in our communities.

CRITICAL CONDITION: HEALTH IN BLACK AMERICA SCREENING & PANEL - Howard University Hospital Tower's Auditorium

You are invited to join HUH President Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr., for an eye-opening conversation featuring clips from Critical Condition: Health in Black America, the powerful NOVA and Firelight Films documentary by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stanley Nelson. The film investigates why Black Americans are nearly twice as likely to suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease — and why their life expectancy is five years shorter than White Americans — despite no meaningful genetic differences between races.

Critical Condition: Health in Black America – Screening & Panel Discussion
Date: Thursday, September 18, 2025
Time: 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Location: WHL Towers Auditorium, Howard University Hospital

We encourage all staff to attend, engage, and be part of this important dialogue on advancing health equity in our communities.

Thank you,

HUH COMMUNITY HEALTH SUMMIT & OPEN HOUSE RECAP🌟
Advancing Health Equity in the Nation’s Capital

City leadership, healthcare experts, and community leaders came together for a powerful two-day event focused on advancing health equity in our Nation’s Capital. It was an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, connect with the community, and showcase the impactful work we do at HUH.

On Friday, we were honored to welcome D.C. Council Members Kenyan McDuffie and Christina Henderson, who shared words of encouragement and the importance of community health partnerships. The day also featured a series of clinical and medical panels led by HUH experts, and WUSA9 spoke with HUH President Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr., for an interview on the purpose and goal of hosting a community health summit and open house.

On Saturday, the community came out for a day of free health screenings, physician meet-and-greets, a backpack giveaway for families, and guided hospital tours that opened our doors to neighbors and friends. đź’™

Thank you to our staff, partners, and community for making this event a true celebration of health, connection, and trust. Together, we are building a healthier D.C. 💪🏾✨
