The City of Pharr has declared April 17, 2025, as Testicular Cancer Awareness Day. Testicular cancer, the most common cancer among men aged 15-35, affects over 9,720 men annually, with approximately 600 cases resulting in death. This proclamation recognizes the courage of survivors, supports those currently fighting, and honors those who have lost their lives. It also underscores the crucial role of healthcare workers in improving detection and treatment options.

The proclamation was presented to Mario Lizcano, Administrator of Corporate Affairs for DHR Health, and Claudia Chapa, Community Outreach Coordinator for DHR Health. “We thank you for providing a platform for DHR Health to continue to provide education and community awareness and the opportunity to provide the screenings and testing that are available for all our community,” said Lizcano. 

On Testicular Cancer Awareness Day, the City of Pharr encourages men to consult with their doctors and calls on the community to increase awareness in the ongoing fight against this disease.
