Free Prostate Screening Coming to Farmingdale
Sen. Fuschillo sponsoring Cancer PSA tests on July 23.
State Sen. Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., in conjunction with the Integrated Medical Foundation, will be sponsoring a free prostate cancer PSA test program in Farmingdale this month.
The free PSA blood tests will be provided on Tuesday, July 23 between 4-6 p.m. at the East Farmingdale Fire Department, located at 930 Conklin St. in Farmingdale.
The Integrated Medical Foundation’s guidelines for the program are as follows:
- Screening is open to all men 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. Patients should also bring the name and address of their primary care physician if possible.
Appointments are recommended but walk-ins will be accepted. Appointments for the free PSA blood tests will be scheduled on a first
come, first served basis.
Men who would like to schedule an appointment for free prostate cancer PSA test should call Senator Fuschillo’s office at 516-882-0630.
