John B. Amos Cancer Center to host free prostate cancer screenings
Columbus, Ga. (August 31, 2026) - Piedmont Columbus Regional will offer a free prostate cancer screening event for men ages 40-69 on Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the John B. Amos Cancer Center. No pre-registration or appointment is needed.
“African American men and those with a family history have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer,” said John B. Amos Cancer Center radiation oncologist Eugene Charles Fortune IV, M.D. “Let’s tackle cancer by knowing your numbers and learning what's at stake. Prostate cancers detected early typically have the highest cure rates.”
A digital rectal exam or a blood test will be offered at the screening. Call 706.320.8700 for more information and learn how to join the free prostate cancer monthly support group.
