Prostate Cancer Screenings
Scripps Health and Ed Randall’s Fans for the Cure will provide free prostate cancer screenings to fans at the San Diego Padres game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Petco Park.
The screenings will be open to all male ticket holders at the game who are 50 or older (or 40 and older with a family history of prostate cancer). Screenings will begin when the ballpark’s gates open at 4:30 p.m. and will continue until the seventh inning at the Scripps Mobile Medical Unit, which will be located in the Park at the Park, beyond the right-field fence.
A team of Scripps phlebotomists will administer prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests, while Scripps physicians will administer digital rectal exams from the privacy of the Mobile Medical Unit. Participants will receive test results via confidential mail. Educational materials about prostate cancer will also be available.
