Free PSA Screening at Parkview Field

8/9/2011
downtown Fort Wayne, Ind.

Attention, men 40 and older! Parkview Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Fort Wayne TinCaps are teaming up once again to offer a FREE PSA Screening at Parkview Field on August 10. Take a break from your day to come to the ballpark for a simple test that can help you monitor your health.

Test location at Parkview Field:  Lincoln Financial Group Event Center (concourse, first-base side)
Noon – 3 p.m. for men over 40 who visit the ballpark
OR
6 – 9 p.m. for men who attend the TinCaps game
 
The PSA screening measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the bloodstream. Elevated levels can indicate prostate cancer or other serious health issues that should be addressed with a physician.

The test requires only a quick blood draw, which will be administered by a Parkview Health Laboratories phlebotomist. Confidential results will be sent to you and your physician.

Reservations are highly recommended. Reserve your time slot by calling (866) 784-6706 by
August 8. Walk-ins may be accepted, but reservations will be helpful.

During the day, two Parkview Physicians Group urologists will be on hand to answer your prostate health questions:

  • Noon to 3 p.m., Rhys Rudolph, MD
  • 6 to 9 p.m., Satish Velagapudi, MD

Participating organizations will have representatives on site:

  • Parkview Comprehensive Cancer Center
