Free Reily Access

The Reily Student Recreation Center will be holding it's annual holiday promotion, in which Faculty & Staff are invited to get a jump start on their resolutions, with a free pass from December 7-January 10.

 

Free Annual Exams

Tulane’s UnitedHealthcare policy is providing an annual physical to all those who are on the plan at no cost. That is correct. There is no co-pay for an annual physical for you and your family members who are covered under your policy.

 

Free Prostate Cancer Screenings

The Tulane Cancer Center is offering free prostate cancer screenings in New Orleans on the second Tuesday of each month.

The monthly screenings will take place from 5 until 6 p.m. and involve a simple blood test that measures levels of prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, which is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland. It is normal for men to have low levels of PSA in their blood. However, prostate cancer or benign (non-cancerous) conditions can increase PSA levels.

The American Cancer Center recommends that men be offered regular PSA tests, along with digital-rectal exams, beginning at age 50 or earlier for those at increased risk for prostate cancer, including those with a family history of prostate cancer or African-American men.

To make an appointment for a free prostate cancer screening, call 504-988-5800 or 1-800-588-5800. Free parking is available at the Saratoga Parking Garage, located on Saratoga Street between Cleveland Avenue and Canal. For more information, visit “Free Prostate Cancer Screenings,” or call 504-988-7869.
