Program Director: Health Awareness Advocate/Speaker

As Program Director and an Advocate/Speaker for Progressive Institute of Health Education and Training - an organization funded by the IDPH - Center for Minority Health Services. Al partners with the Department to organize, plan, coordinate, promote and facilitate workshops and symposiums in Chicago.

In October 2008 Al Brown's life as he had known it changed. Al was a successful business entrepreneur excited about the opportunity to connect businesses and people through an ever expanding avenue of possibilities. Then he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. How quickly focus and priorities change!

Al was a person who was accustomed to being inquisitive about the buying public and their motives - and now he was more than inquisitive as to what this diagnosis meant to him and those he loved. Al took on this challenge with an unrelenting appetite for more and more information. Research showed that the Afrikan-American male makes up the highest risk of occurrences of Prostate Cancer than any other male in the entire world. And they are experiencing an epidemic of diverse diagnoses - with many treatment decisions being based on fear rather than knowledge and surety.

Al's passionate desire was being re-directed! Rather than being an advocate for exceptional marketing for business ideas and people, he would become a passionate advocate for Prostate Cancer Education among the Afrikan-American male population. An advocate who could emotionally identify with the plight of the stricken individual but who also could instruct and speak from an educated vantage point.

Considering the challenges that he faced during the process of researching, decision making and anxiety, Al began working to complete the goal of developing a National Network and website to provide psychological/emotional support, screening opportunities, current treatment options, comparative statistics and dietary changes that may have an impact. Diagnosed individuals must be able to connect and network with people sharing the same burden. Al's networking and communications expertise is now being utilized to its fullest. Helping to connect people was always his goal - now it has been raised to a higher power and has become His mission!

Al is currently writing of his amazing journey in his book appropriately entitlted Prostate Cancer And the Afrikan-American Male - "One Man's Jouney".
