Are you, or someone you know, newly diagnosed?
 

In the event that you, or someone you know, is diagnosed with prostate cancer, please be aware that there is a great deal of information and support that we, who have gone through this experience can offer. As an example, we advise that you not rush to be treated until you visit three different prostate cancer specialists: a medical oncologist, an urologist (surgeon), and a radiation oncologist. We can also discuss the treatment choices and provide you with suggestions of questions which you might want to ask each specialist as well as other very useful information including the valuable benefit of attending one of the many prostate cancer support groups.

Turn right at the Gift Shop and walk to the end of a very long corridor. ( pass the rest rooms and The Security Office, both on your right side) The last portion of this corridor slopes downward and you are now in the Deaconess Building.

At the end, turn right. On your left will be a stairway and an elevator. Go up one flight to Conference Rooms 2B and 2C.
