June marks a valuable opportunity to highlight men’s preventative health. First Choice Healthcare Clinics is offering discounted lab services all month for area men. Specials include a $50 general health and thyroid test (TSH), a $10 PSA blood screening for prostate cancer, and a $10 colon cancer screening—these prices are for cash payments only. The PSA screening is available for men aged 50 to 64, or younger men with a family history of prostate cancer, though those under 50 will need a physician’s order. Fasting is recommended for some tests. For appointments, contact your local clinic or visit henrystarkhealth.com.
Eligible men can schedule appointments at Kewanee (309-852-5272), Colona (309-792-4011), or Toulon (309-852-3115) clinics. Along with screenings, health experts urge men to stay active, eat well, talk about mental health, and avoid smoking or heavy drinking.
