Newport Hospital Offering Free Prostate Cancer Screenings

Posted Wednesday, September 14, 2011

One in six American men get prostate cancer, so Newport Hospital is offering free screenings to increase early diagnosis and treatment.

• Free prostate cancer screening

• Saturday, September 24, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

• Newport Hospital, Powel Avenue entrance

To receive a free screening, men must be at least 40 years old. However, African-American men, Hispanic men, and men with a family history of prostate cancer must be at least 35 years old.

The screening is free but an appointment is required. Please call the Newport Hospital education department at 845-1592 to schedule an appointment.
