Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among people assigned male at birth. The good news is that with early detection, it can often be treated successfully. The easiest way to diagnose prostate cancer is through a prostate exam.
Bronson is providing free prostate exams and PSA blood draws to community members who:
- Are ages 55-80 (or, as young as age 40 if you have a family history of prostate cancer)
- Have limited access to healthcare and are at risk for developing prostate cancer
Space is limited to 30 participants at this location. Participants will receive a free prostate exam and PSA blood test to evaluate prostate health.
You can register using the link below or by calling Bronson HealthAnswers at (269) 341-7723 Monday-Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Note: This screening includes a rectal exam and a blood test. Before your appointment:
- Avoid ejaculation for 24–48 hours before your PSA test, as it can temporarily raise PSA levels.
- Avoid vigorous physical activity involving the prostate, such as biking or heavy lifting, for 24–48 hours prior.
