WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING A BLESSING TO THOSE WHO ARE TOUCHED BY CANCER
POC at Designer Cuts Barbering Palace
Roper St. Francis Mobile Health has launched a new community initiative called Barbershop Talks to engage men in candid discussions about their health—particularly prostate cancer awareness and screening—by meeting them in familiar spaces like local barbershops. The first event was held at Designer Cuts Barbering Palace in Goose Creek, featuring speakers like Alfred Charley of the Praise Out Cancer Foundation, who emphasized the life-saving importance of early detection.
Faith leaders and community figures, including Pastor Jonathan Briggs and Councilman Steve Christopher Davis, highlighted the role of spiritual guidance and local leadership in promoting health education. The relaxed setting encouraged open dialogue, while attendees were also invited to register for free prostate screenings on Sept. 6 at 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. Cost:$0:00 at Roper St. Francis Mobile Health, 730 Stoney Landing Road, Moncks Corner, SC.
With more events planned, Barbershop Talks is part of Roper St. Francis’s broader effort to make preventive care more accessible and build trust in communities across the Lowcountry.
