June 27 is National PTSD Awareness Day. This day holds particular significance for our nation's veterans, many of whom face the invisible wounds of war in the form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. And as a nation, we need to do a better job at protecting and serving our veterans. At ZERO Prostate Cancer, we recognize that there is immediate action as well as long-term planning that needs to take place to ensure that veterans get the support they need - especially when it comes to prostate cancer. You may not know: --Nearly 489,000 prostate cancer patients are in the VA health system. 16,000 of these patients have metastatic prostate cancer. --9 million Veterans receive healthcare from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). --Military personnel are twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as the general public. --Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among U.S. Veterans, and makes up 30% of new cancer diagnoses in the VA. --The burden of prostate cancer among Veterans is substantial with over 200,000 survivors and 12,000 new diagnoses annually.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we carry the spirit of progress and change forward for more equitable health outcomes for all. #ZEROProstateCancer #Juneteenth #BlackMen #BlackMensHealth #prostatecancer #healthequity #MensHealthMonth

To all the fathers and father figures, thank you for your unconditional love, guidance, and support. Today, we honor and celebrate you! In recognition of this special day, our CEO & President, Courtney Bugler, CFRE, shares a heartfelt blog about the role her father played during her breast cancer journey and how the tables turned when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In her powerful message, she reminds us that everyone needs someone. It is up to us to be that someone. We have to speak up. We have to get louder. We have to do it to honor our fathers, brothers, friends, and family. Together, we can help remove the stigma, ease the isolation, and save lives. #ZEROProstateCancer #FathersDay #MensHealthMonth
