About IMF

ABOUT INTEGRATED MEDICAL FOUNDATION
Working Together for Better Men’s Health and to Fight Prostate Cancer.1 out of 7 American men will have prostate cancer in their lifetime. Statistics show that regular screening can lead to early detection of prostate cancer. Screenings have decreased the prostate cancer death rate by nearly 40% since they began 20 years ago. IMF urges men over 40, or men with a family history of prostate cancer, to talk to their health care provider about prostate cancer. Early Detection Saves Lives!

IMF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to prostate cancer awareness education and support. We offer
free screenings to groups in the NY community. Please visit us at www. IMFcares.org. You can also follow IMF on Facebook@IMFcares and Twitter @IMFcares.
