💙 We recently welcomed Mark Good, a pharmacist and the Chairman of the Board for Team Blue Iowa (Prostate Cancer Awareness) and Jeff Taylor, Treasurer of the Board, at the Rotary Club of Ankeny. Mark and Jeff are both survivors and passionate advocates. Through advocacy, awareness, and community engagement, Team Blue is working to ensure that no man - and no family - face this journey alone. They offer PSA Screening events providing Iowans with free access to early detection, removing barriers to this critical process. PSA Screenings are as easy as a quick blood draw and a follow-up call from a Urologist from Urology Center of Iowa. Check out a free screening event or reach out to your provider to request a PSA test 💙
