COLUMBUS — Columbus Community Hospital will provide free prostate cancer screenings June 3 through June 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the CCH lab on 110 Shult Dr. in Columbus. The screenings are open to men 50 and older and those with a prior diagnosis of an abnormal prostate reading.
The prostate cancer screen is a simple blood test that measures the level of prostate-specific anti gens (PSA) in the blood. Elevated PSA levels can be an indicator of prostate cancer, as well as other prostate conditions.
“Making health care resources available and accessible is part of our commitment to our community as an independent, nonprofit hospital," said James Vanek, CEO of Columbus Community Hospital. “This free screening test can save lives, and I hope everyone who is eligible takes advantage of it."
