Senator Skelos' Free Community Prostate Cancer Screening Program

I am pleased to announce that I will be sponsoring a free community prostate cancer screening program, in conjunction with South Nassau Communities Hospital on Monday, September 15 in West Hempstead.

Screenings will be conducted between 4pm and 7 pm at the West Hempstead Public Library, located at 500 Hempstead Avenue in West Hempstead.

All men are welcome to get screened as part of the free program, regardless of whether or not they have insurance. Screenings will include 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. Men who have a primary care physician who they would like to have notified about the exam results should bring that physician’s name and contact information. 

Appointments are recommended but walk-ins will be accepted. Screening appointments will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Men who would like to schedule an appointment should call my office at 516-766-8383.
