Senator Phillips Sponsoring Free Prostate Cancer PSA Screening Program in Albertson

     Senator Elaine Phillips, in conjunction with the Integrated Medical Foundation, will be sponsoring a free prostate cancer PSA screening program in Albertson.  The free PSA blood tests will be provided on Tuesday, April 18th between 4 pm and 6 pm at the Shelter Rock Public Library (165 Searingtown Road, Albertson).

     The Integrated Medical Foundation’s guidelines for the program are as follows:

• Open to all men ages 40 and over who have not previously been diagnosed with prostate cancer, regardless of whether or not they have insurance;
• 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 live in the 7th Senate District and would like to schedule an appointment for a free prostate cancer PSA test should call Senator Phillips’ office at 516-746-5924.
