Sidney Health Center Cancer Care and the Richland County Health Department are teaming up to host a free Men’s Health Screening on March 11 by appointment only starting at 4:00 PM at the Cancer Care Suite, located at 214 14th Avenue Southwest in Sidney. This free colorectal and prostate cancer screening is for men between the ages of 45-80 years will include a PSA (prostate specific antigen) lab draw test, a DRE (digital rectal exam) by Dr. Ralf Kiehl, Radiation Oncologist and Dr. Peter Deveaux, General Surgeon, a complimentary FIT (fecal immunochemical test) take-home kit and blood pressure check.
The American Cancer Society encourages people who have no identified risk (other than age) to begin regular colorectal cancer screening at age 50. Regular screening can, in many cases, prevent colorectal cancer altogether. This is because some polyps, or growths, can be found and removed before they have a chance to turn into cancer.
With recommended screening, colorectal and prostate cancer can be prevented or detected at its earliest stage. If you are 45 years or older, take time to attend the Men’s Health Screening on March 11. All participants will receive a complimentary drink card from either the Cattle-ac or The Rush. Please call the Sidney Health Center Cancer Care at 406-488-2504 to schedule an appointment or for any additional questions.
