Summary
PROSTAID Calgary has announced its November 2023 general monthly meeting, which will be held on November 15th at the CKE Community Centre in Calgary, Alberta. The meeting aims to support prostate cancer survivor warriors, their wives, and caregivers on their healing journeys by providing information and support. The meeting will feature talks by leaders from the Prostate Cancer Centre, focusing on the Centre's recent work on early detection and its services for patients and their families.
One of the services highlighted in the meeting is the PSA blood testing, which is offered at no charge to patients through the Prostate Cancer Centre's mobile men's health clinic known as the MAN VAN.
