Gift of Life Urges Southeast Texas Men to Get Screened, Citing 13,550 Free Prostate Checks

Summary
Father’s Day outreach from Gift of Life’s 2026 Men’s Health Month honorary chair urges Southeast Texas men to book screenings and checkups instead of delaying care for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and prostate cancer.
13,550 men have received free prostate cancer screenings through the program since 2000, and 85 diagnosed with prostate cancer were connected to treatment that helped extend and improve their lives.
The appeal argues many serious conditions develop silently, making early detection critical even when men feel healthy and have no obvious warning signs.
Free summer screenings across Southeast Texas will offer PSA tests, diabetes and cardiovascular checks, physician consultations, health education and navigation to follow-up care.
