Free Prostate Cancer Screenings Available in Bentonville
Men in Northwest Arkansas now have the opportunity to receive free prostate cancer screenings. This effort is part of a broader initiative to increase awareness and early detection of the disease.
Arkansas Urology, located at 400 SE Macy Road, Suite 18, is offering these free screenings. Scheduled for Thursday, September 12, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., the event aims to reach a significant number of men in the community.
The screenings will include a comprehensive 10-point checkup. This thorough examination will assess hormone levels, prostate cancer risk, bladder cancer risk, kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte levels. These critical health markers can help identify potential issues early on, ensuring timely intervention and effective treatment.
Finding support and resources is a crucial aspect of dealing with prostate cancer. Organizations like the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation provide a comprehensive platform for men to connect with each other and access vital information. Virtual support groups, fundraising events, and a glossary of key terms are just a few of the services available to support those affected.
Arkansas Urology is also dedicated to providing these services throughout the year via a mobile testing vehicle. This mobile unit ensures that free prostate cancer screenings are accessible to a wider range of individuals, making it easier for men to prioritize their health.
The success of these initiatives relies heavily on community involvement. By raising awareness and funds, these efforts can have a lasting impact on the local community, providing essential resources to those who need them.
