FREE Prostate Screening Event

West Chester Hospital is offering free prostate screenings for men age 50 and older on Saturday, February 25, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in men according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). However, modern methods of detection and treatment mean that many prostate cancers are now found earlier and can be treated more effectively.

A prostate exam – involving a simple digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test – can detect the early warning signs of cancer. The ACS recommends that men should have an annual prostate exam beginning at age 50 unless they fall into a higher risk group.

Reservations for the free prostate screenings are required and space is limited. Men interested in receiving their free prostate screening test should call (513) 298-FAST (3278) by Thursday, February 23, to make an appointment. A physician order is not required for this exam.
