Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | This Saturday marks my 3rd annual free oral cancer screening in the City of Gulfport, Fl. This year I have added a free Prostrate screening as well and if all goes well I will be adding more free cancer screenings next year, like skin. The Prostrate screening is a PSA blood draw which will be sent off for testing and the results mailed to the "donor". The City of Gulfport and Walgreens, who provides the use of their parking lot, are co sponsors.
One day, perhaps as soon as next year, I envision a parking lot full of free cancer and other suitable medical testings.
