Why was the Minority Men's Health Center developed?
The Minority Men's Health Center was created in an effort to focus on prostate cancer and renal transplantation in African American men, where there are striking differences in disease and incidents. However, future endeavors are underway to expand the array of treatments and outcomes for a variety of conditions and diseases to treat all minorities.
