Charles County
Church, officials mobilize to battle prostate cancer
Maryland Independent by NANCY BROMLEY McCONATY

The number of prostate cancer cases among African-American men in Southern Maryland is skyrocketing and local churches and health officials are doing everything that they can to change those statistics.

The Lighthouse Baptist Church on Middletown Road in Waldorf is doing its part by holding two prostate cancer education and survey programs Aug. 23 and 27. The Charles County Department of Health is co-sponsoring the program that will teach men 40 and older the facts about prostate cancer and the great need to be screened regularly for the disease.
