Free Screening

The Maine Coalition to Fight Prostate Cancer is offering a free and confidential prostate cancer screening on Saturday, June 10th, from 9 AM to 1 PM in Bath. A doctor will be available to perform a digital rectal examination and take a blood draw for a PSA test.

Space is limited. Participation is by appointment only and men over 40 are welcome. Please call (toll free) 855-552-7200 ext. 800 to register.

One in six Maine men will get prostate cancer. Screening is a good way to help know your risk and be able to make informed choices about treatment options.
