💙 September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

This month, Community Outreach & Engagement (COE) joins communities across Maryland in raising awareness about prostate cancer and the importance of education, informed decision-making, and access to trusted health resources.

At COE, reducing the burden of cancer means bringing information directly into the communities we serve. Through community events, educational programs, conversations with cancer experts, and partnerships with local organizations, we work to help Marylanders better understand prostate cancer—including risk factors, screening considerations, prevention, treatment, and the importance of speaking with a healthcare provider.

Our goal goes beyond awareness. We want to help create opportunities for people to ask questions, connect with reliable resources, and feel empowered to make informed decisions about their health.

Throughout September, we encourage you to start the conversation about prostate health with the men in your life. A conversation today could make a meaningful difference tomorrow. 💙

✨ Research is changing the future of cancer prevention.

We’re proud to celebrate our colleague, Dr. Rebecca Stone, who was recently featured in The New York Times discussing an exciting advancement in ovarian cancer prevention.

Did you know that many of the most aggressive ovarian cancers are now believed to begin in the fallopian tubes? This growing understanding is helping doctors identify new ways to reduce risk through preventive care for some women.

💛 July is Sarcoma Awareness Month.

Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that can develop in the body’s bones or soft tissues, affecting people of all ages. Because it is uncommon, recognizing the signs and seeking medical attention early can make a meaningful difference.

At the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Community Outreach & Engagement (COE) Program, we’re committed to empowering our communities through education, increasing awareness, and connecting individuals with trusted resources that support informed health decisions. Every conversation helps bring greater visibility to cancers that often receive less attention.

This month, join us in raising awareness, supporting those impacted by sarcoma, and encouraging others to learn more about the importance of early detection and knowing your body.
