Free Skin Cancer and Prostate Cancer Screenings

grant check presented to Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank to improve access to healthy food for residents

Daniel Craig, LWSC Director | July 17, 2025

We are excited to announce that we have two free skin cancer and prostate cancer screenings again this year.

Last year’s screenings filled up so we encourage anyone interested to sign up early. The free skin cancer and prostate cancer screenings take place at Tammy Walker Cancer Center on Saturday, October 4 and October 11. Both events run from 9:00am to 12:00pm. There is no cost for the screenings, but appointments are required. Individuals do not have to live in Saline County to attend the screenings.

To make an appointment, contact Daniel Craig at 785-452-4848.

Cancer statistics

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer found in both men and women. People of all ages should have moles and other unusual skin changes evaluated by a professional.

Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men behind lung cancer. The prostate cancer screening is for men ages 55 to 69 and includes a PSA blood test and physical exam. Prior to testing men will have the opportunity to consult with a urologist to help decide if the screening is appropriate and desirable.

Thanks for helping!

A huge thank you to the Masonic Cancer Alliance and Salina Lodge #60 for helping us make these free screenings available to our community.
