Prostate Cancer Screening

Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. (R, Bellmore-Merrick), in conjunction with the Integrated Medical Foundation and Bostwick Laboratories, is sponsoring this no out-of-pocket cost prostate cancer screening program.

All men are welcome to get screened as part of the program, regardless of whether or not they have insurance. Screenings will include a digital rectal exam and a PSA blood test. Men who will be getting screened must bring with them a photo ID containing an address, such as a driver’s license. Participants will be notified of the exam results. There is no out-of-pocket cost to participate in the program.

Appointments are recommended but walk-ins will be accepted.
