Since 2020, Republic and community partners have offered free life-saving screenings and educational resources to celebration attendees

Today, Republic Bank & Trust Company (“Republic” or “the Bank”) hosted the fifth annual Juneteenth Event at the Republic Bank Foundation YMCA. Republic partnered with Kentucky African Americans Against Cancer (KAAAC) and other community organizations to offer free screenings and educational resources to improve the health of West Louisville residents.

“Republic Bank welcomes the opportunity to host this important community event each year in celebration of Juneteenth,” Republic Bank President and CEO Logan Pichel said. “We are committed to investing in West Louisville, improving the quality of life and enabling the communities we serve to thrive. Not only are we able to help Louisvillians access life-saving health screenings and resources, but today’s event offered everyone an opportunity to celebrate with the community.”

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with the risk for Black men being significantly higher. Moreover, a recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) study concluded that Black men have a higher prevalence of prostate cancer because of lower prostate exam screening rates.

Additionally, the average dental screening costs about $130, and according to the Kentucky Oral Health Coalition, poor oral health is linked to a number of health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Further, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the highest prevalence of fatal oral cancers is among Black Americans, and they are three times more likely to have untreated cavities.

In addition to free prostate screenings provided by KAAAC, KARE Mobile offered complementary dental screenings for all attendees. Attendees also enjoyed activities, food and vendors operated by Black- and women-owned businesses.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate Juneteenth in West Louisville for the fifth year in a row,” Republic Bank Vice President, Inclusion and Diversity Ashley Duncan said. “We’re grateful for our community partners like KAAAC and Kare Mobile that are helping us reach underserved communities and save lives.”
