As we enter the month of May, we are reminded of the importance of Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about bladder cancer and its impact on individuals and families worldwide. Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, affecting men and women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. However, despite its prevalence, bladder cancer remains relatively underrecognized compared to other types of cancer.
At One Community in collaboration with World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition, we are committed to changing this narrative and making a meaningful difference in the fight against bladder cancer. That’s why we are calling on passionate individuals like you to join us for Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. Together, we can raise awareness, promote early detection, and support those affected by this disease.
