Patient Backpack Program

Team Blue Iowa, in partnership with The Urology Center of Iowa, are wanting to help those approximately 500 newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients in Central Iowa in 2024. Our goal is to give each man a backpack (Goody Bag) filled with items that have been suggested by former patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
