Seminar Agenda
The W. B. Ingalls Memorial Prostate Health and Cancer Seminar is named in honor of former Jupiter and Boston resident and philanthropist Brad Ingalls. During his 12-year battle with prostate cancer, Mr. Ingalls expressed great dissatisfaction with the limitations of the existing diagnostic procedures. Each year, the seminar presents the most current information about prostate health and cancer research.
