GCHS Students Raise Awareness Of Prostate Cancer

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and, on September 19th, students at Garden City High School, only a few of whom are pictured here, participated in the "Wear Blue for the Men You Love" Integrated Medical Foundation Prostate Cancer Awareness Project to help raise awareness about the disease. Early detection and treatment are key to helping our fathers, grandfathers, husbands, brothers, uncles, sons, grandsons, friends, neighbors, and colleagues survive prostate cancer. Caroline Hohlman, a senior at Garden City High School is the President of the Teen chapter of the Integrated Medical Foundation.

On October 22, from 2 - 6 p.m., a free prostate cancer screening will take place at the Hicksville Community Center, 28 West Carl Street, Hicksville, NY. Appointments are preferred, so please call 516 277-1181 to set up your free screening.

Thank you to all of the Garden City High School students who participated in this awareness-raising event.
