Calling All Men!!! Health Check: As September is coming to an end, this is a caring reminder to please go and get screened for Prostate Cancer!

The prostate is a gland found between your bladder and rectum, and helps make semen. Prostate cancer often develops without symptoms, but symptoms may include needing to urinate often and being unable to start or stop urinating. One of the best ways to screen for prostate cancer is a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test. Memorial Sloan Kettering recommends those at average risk for #prostatecancer have a #PSAbloodtest at around age 45. #HealthScreeningsMatter
