• Each patient will receive a free PSA blood test;
• Men who will be participating in the program must bring a photo ID containing an address, such as a driver’s license;
• Patients must bring a self addressed, stamped envelope to be notified of the PSA blood test results.
Appointments for the free PSA blood tests will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Men who would like to schedule an appointment for a free prostate cancer PSA test should call Senator Martins’ office at 516-746-5924.
