Methodist Hospitals is offering Prostate Screenings in September
Contributed By:The 411 News
National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
Prostate cancer awareness month is about being aware and informed.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in the U.S. One in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and their outcomes are best when treated early. When diagnosed early the five year survival rate is almost 100 percent. For this reason Methodist Hospitals is offering free prostate screenings on the following dates and locations as listed below:
Monday, September 17, 2018, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Midlake Campus
2269 W. 25th Avenue, Gary, IN
Wednesday, September 19, 2018, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Southlake Campus, Pavilion B
200 E. 89th. Avenue, Merrillville, IN
Screenings are for men ages 40 to 70, not currently under the care of a urologist, whose last PSA test was performed more than 6 months ago. To register call 1-888-909-3627 or visit MethodistHospitals.org and click on event registration.
