Did you know that about one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime? Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but screenings can help in early diagnosis. Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center is offering a Prostate Cancer Screening for men age 50 and over or for those with a high risk for prostate cancer. The screening will take place at Memorial Southside Office, 110 W 12th Ave., Jasper on Friday, February 10, from 6–9:30 a.m. Results will be mailed to participants.
No appointment or pre-registration is necessary. The cost of the PSA screening is $22. Optional tests include a lipid profile for $15 and a take-home colon cancer detection kit for $9. A 12-hour fast is required for the lipid profile prior to the screening. Payment is required at the time of screening. No Medicare, Medicaid, or insurances are applicable.
