Wednesday, November 12, 2014

On Thursday, Nov. 20, Putnam County Hospital will be hosting prostate screens for the men of Putnam and surrounding counties.

The screen is an annual event sponsored by Putnam County Hospital Cancer Center.

"Early detection is the key," Sarah Barnes, Cancer Center RN, noted.

"We offer screenings to encourage more men to take an interest in their health and to protect themselves from cancer," she added.

The physician exam is at no charge. A $10 laboratory fee will be collected for the PSA blood test.

The screen will be conducted by appointment only. To schedule a screen, persons should contact the Cancer Center at 655-2581.

The screens will take place from 9 a.m. to noon and 5-7 p.m. with Drs. Sreedasyam, Workman and Palanca in the Cancer Center, located on the second floor at PCH, 1524 Bloomington St., Greencastle.
