Greenwich Hospital, Sportscaster Ed Randall Partner for Free Prostate Cancer Screening

From Greenwich Hospital.

For the fifth consecutive year, Greenwich Hospital is partnering with sports broadcaster Ed Randall and his “Fans for the Cure” charity to offer free prostate cancer screenings to men between the ages of 40 and 75 during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2014, and approximately 29,000 men will die of the disease. Early detection and treatment of the disease can save lives – a message prostate cancer survivor Randall has taken to men across the nation through events like the one being offered at Greenwich Hospital this month.

The two-part screening event will take place on Sept. 16, 18 and 30, ending with a special “Private Stock” edition of Randall’s “Talking Baseball.”

Part 1: Sept. 16 and 18
PSA Screening blood tests will be offered on Tuesday, Sept. 16 and Thursday, Sept. 18, 5:30-7 pm, at the hospital’s Outpatient Lab. No appointment necessary.

Part 2: Sept. 30
Physical exams and PSA results counseling by Greenwich Hospital doctors will be offered on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 5:30-7 pm, at the hospital’s Ambulatory Surgical Unit. No reservations necessary, but participants must have already had the PSA blood test on either Sept. 16 or 18.

“Private Stock: Talking Baseball,” will take place in the hospital’s Noble Conference Center, from 6-7 pm. The panel discussion will include host Ed Randall and former Major League baseball players. Light refreshments will be served. Drop-ins welcome.
