We are Canada’s first and only mobile men’s health clinic, offering PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood testing throughout Calgary and rural southern Alberta. One in seven men in Alberta will be affected by prostate cancer. When detected early it is very treatable. A PSA blood test from your family doctor or a 10 minute trip to the MAN VAN can aid in early detection. Continue reading to find out when the MAN VAN will be in a location near you.

“Murray Waddell signed up for the clinic and climbed aboard the MAN VAN. He offered his arm up for a small blood sample and ten minutes later was back at work. He didn’t think much about the test until the next morning when he received a call from a nurse at Calgary’s Prostate Cancer Centre who informed him his PSA result was higher than it should be for his 54 years of age. He was sent for an additional PSA blood test and once again the results confirmed his reading was much higher than normal.”
In Alberta, one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. When detected early, prostate cancer is one of the most successfully treated types of cancer.
The staff and volunteers at the Prostate Cancer Centre are dedicated to educating men about the importance of early detection.
