Industry leaders discuss how corporate partnerships can strengthen community-based prostate cancer education, screening, patient support and clinical trial awareness.
Panelists reflect on the impact of working with PHEN to bring trusted health information directly into churches, barbershops, community events and other familiar settings. They also consider how industry resources, expertise and influence can support PHEN’s Next Decade of Action and help transform short-term outreach efforts into sustainable programs.
The discussion emphasizes moving beyond measuring attendance and screening totals to better understand the complete patient experience—from awareness and conversations with healthcare providers to treatment decisions, clinical trials and long-term support.
