Featured events:
Free Prostate Screening
Henry Medical Center will provide free prostate screenings on Saturday, September 11, 2010 between 9 A.M. and 2 P.M. in the hospital’s Foundation Education Center.
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in men. According to the most recent data, for all men with prostate cancer, the relative 5-year survival rate is nearly 100%.
Candidates for the Henry Medical Center free prostate screening must be male, age 40 years or older and must not have had a prostate screening within the past year. If you have blood in the urine, pain on urination, or difficulty urinating, you are not a candidate for this screening and should see your physician.
Prostate cancer screening is an individual decision that men of any age should make upon discussing both the risks and benefits of screening with their physician. Men who wish to be screened during Henry Medical Center’s free prostate screening on September 11 will have both a Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and a digital rectal exam (DRE).
