• Prostate screening on hold
  Upland Hills Health has traditionally offered a screening each fall to encourage the early detection of prostate cancer. This year the screening will not be offered, as the urology specialist is recovering from a knee surgery. The clinic has grown to become very successful in recent years, and Upland Hills Health regrets this cancellation. Organizers are hopeful the screening will continue in 2005. Men seeking an annual prostate exam are encouraged to contact their general practice physician. For a listing of local doctors, click here.
