ST. LOUIS - September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month and for the second year in a row, Dave Sinclair Automotive Group and SSM Cancer Care will be offering three free prostate screenings. The screenings will be held on Tuesday, September 13 at Dave Sinclair Buick GMC (South County), Tuesday, September 20 at Dave Sinclair Lincoln Mercury (St. Peters) and on Tuesday, September 27 at Dave Sinclair Ford (South County). All screenings will take place from 4 to 7 p.m.
In 2011, the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 4,230 new cases of prostate cancer in Missouri*. The founder of Dave Sinclair Automotive Group, the late Dave Sinclair, Sr. a prostate cancer survivor, credited the PSA test with saving his life. He was a very strong advocate of these screenings – encouraging his family, friends and the general public to attend one of these events.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore the Dave Sinclair Automotive Group showrooms, pick up educational information and have refreshments before and after their blood draw. SSM Breast Care will also be on-hand if any women would like to receive a free breast cancer risk assessment.
To register or for more information, please call 1-866-SSM-DOCS (1-866-776-3627).
