Hill Briefing and Facebook Live Q&A on Prostate Cancer
We’ve partnered with Men’s Health Network to host a Capitol Hill briefing on shared decision making and prostate cancer. It will take place Wednesday, June 28. If you’re unable to attend, you may watch a recording we’ll post afterward. Learn more about the hill briefing here.
You can also join us online at 4 p.m. ET the same day for a Facebook Live and Twitter Q&A focusing on the need for patient-centered research on men’s health. In a new feature article, one of the speakers at both events describes his experiences as a prostate cancer survivor who helped design and conduct PCORI-funded research.
