Be A Pro

Prostate cancer screening and early detection

Thank you to all the men who took the proactive step to maintain their prostate health with our Be a Pro program!

Warning signs of prostate cancer can be detected early, before symptoms develop, with regular screening. You should discuss whether prostate cancer early detection is right for you with your personal primary care physician.
