Garnet Health Hosts Free Aquablation Event, Educates Men on BPH

Garnet Health Doctors issued a notice December 24 announcing a public information session on aquablation therapy scheduled for Thursday, January 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Middletown Thrall Library, 11-19 Depot Street, Middletown. In the event of inclement weather the event will be held Thursday, January 29, at the same time and location. The session is open to the public and will feature Garnet Health urologists who will discuss benign prostatic hyperplasia, the importance of early diagnosis, and the benefits of aquablation therapy.

Aquablation therapy uses precision water jet technology to remove excess or obstructive prostate tissue. The treatment is described as an advanced, minimally invasive option that is clinically proven to provide long lasting relief of BPH symptoms while preserving sexual function and continence. The event is intended to help men and their families weigh aquablation against other options, and to explain candidacy criteria, expected outcomes, and recovery considerations.

For Orange County residents, the session addresses a common health concern among older men that often goes undiscussed. Increased awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis, reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and infections, and limit emergency care visits. From a public health perspective, community education about effective, lower impact treatments can improve quality of life for patients and reduce downstream strain on primary care and urology services.

The event’s free and public format is significant for health equity. Offering information without cost removes a common barrier for people who may delay care due to lack of insurance, limited transportation, or uncertainty about new technologies. Local providers and health systems deciding whether to adopt and cover newer procedures will be watching patient interest and outcomes as aquablation becomes more common.

Attendees should note the date and location, and that registration information was included in the notice from Garnet Health Doctors. The session may be particularly useful for men experiencing moderate to severe urinary symptoms, caregivers, and primary care clinicians seeking to update their referral options.
