Health Fairs

Health fairs are back! Blood tests typically available at health fairs include prostate screening (PSA) without a doctor’s order. Health fairs are scheduled all over the state: their website has a full list of locations and dates (scroll to the bottom of the page) once they are set for the coming season.

Selected fairs will include the Us TOO booth where you can speak with a prostate cancer survivor, see if you qualify for a free PSA test, and pick up information. Check back here for updates on where you find the Us TOO booth.
