African American men have significantly high incidence and mortality rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and HIV/AIDS. Organizers anticipate that conferences and forums hosted by the American Cancer Society will help reduce the incidence of health conditions that adversely affect African American males by utilizing education, screenings and networking of community residents. It is also expected that the conferences and forums will help develop pride and commitment in the community toward staying healthy. Our goal is to empower, enlighten and educate African American men about health issues.
