LA POP is a mobile RV clinic that will provide free prostate cancer screenings in Mobile, Baldwin, Clarke, Conecuh, Washington, and Escambia counties to those who qualify for the program. The focus of the program is to bring testing where it is needed to screen people ages 40-49 years who are at increased risk of prostate cancer and those ages 50-75 who are at average risk.

The mobile clinic will conduct prostate cancer screenings by collecting a blood sample for a PSA test. Those who qualify for the program will receive follow-up on their PSA test results. Participants with abnormal PSA results will be referred to USA Health Urology for additional testing, which is covered by the program.
