As a regional Center of Excellence, Pen Bay Urology is dedicated to informing the community about urologic concerns and their prevention. Some of our educational events include:

• Annual free prostate cancer screening programs.
• Wellness lectures to civic organizations.
• Patient seminars on preventative health measures.
• Medical staff discussions at PBMC and other Maine hospitals on urologic cancers, kidney stones, benign prostate voiding problems, incontinence and impotence.

We know that sometimes it helps to have the support of someone who knows first-hand what you are experiencing. Through our liaisons with the American Cancer Society, American College of Surgeons and local support, we can help you gain the knowledge and understanding you need to stay healthy.
