By Summer Knight, RN, GU Nurse Navigator

Maine Medical Partners Urology has a relationship with the Maine Coalition to Fight Prostate Cancer. This program is run by volunteer prostate cancer survivors. They have an excellent resource called One 2 One Confidential, which is a hotline people can call to get connected with a prostate cancer survivor to discuss their experiences. Patients or their families can call 1-855-552-7200 ext. 801 to connect with One 2 One. They have many support groups all over the state, which are very successful. They also have important information regarding prostate cancer, and several resources like transportation support, and lodging tips and assistance. The website for Maine Coalition to Fight Prostate Cancer is: https://mcfpc.org/.
