Onsite Services Include:
Free Prostate Cancer Screening by USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute:
USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute will be providing FREE prostate cancer screenings. This simple screening can be a crucial first step in identifying potential issues. Early diagnosis can help catch the cancer before it becomes life-threatening or causes serious problems. Trained nursing staff will conduct the simple prostate cancer screenings by collecting a blood sample only to eligible men onsite through their mobile RV clinic. Sign up or learn more about the FREE prostate cancer screenings being brought to our community through the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) Prostate Cancer Prevention Program. Eligibility guidelines can be found at the following link and pre-registration is requested for the prostate cancer screening.

Today, their clinics can be found throughout Mobile, Baldwin, and several other southern Alabama counties.
