Television PSA with Councilman Bernard Hamilton
Councilman Hamilton has served on the township council for twelve years and is currently the liaison to the Bloomfield Health Department. He was a prime candidate for the PSA because he is an African-American public figure. The PSA included information about prostate cancer and the upcoming screening. It aired on Channel 35, a local cable channel, one week prior to the screening and will continue to air to raise awareness about prostate cancer.
