About the Program
The Health Griots program brings together African American men, cancer survivors and co-survivors, healthcare providers and professionals to reduce the risk of cancer through four areas of focus:
- Preventive care
- Healthy eating
- Active living
- Tobacco-free living
The programming is designed to promote cancer awareness and early detection – both of which play a major role in the prevention and successful treatment of cancer – by engaging men in healthy dialogue that removes the stigma and fear often associated with cancer and helping them recognize early signs and symptoms.
30% of cancer cases could be prevented by modifying lifestyle or addressing the risk factors.
