Â The clinic operates twice per month and is run by an exceptional group of volunteers and health professionals, some of which are primary care providers from Marlette Regional Hospital and McKenzie Health System. Thanks to this partnership, we are removing financial barriers for low income families to receive health care services.

In 2011, Sandusky, MI alumni Tom Albrecht approached Marlette Regional Hospital about combining efforts to raise funds and create a higher awareness in the fight against prostate cancer. From this meeting, the P.C.U.P.S program was created. P.C.U.P.S. stands for Prostate Cancer Understanding, Prevention and Screenings. Shortly thereafter, a fundraising event called Hunting for Health was introduced to the Thumb Area, and since its inception in 2012, over $80,000 has been raised to provide free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screenings to men in our communities. Today, due to its immense growth, P.C.U.P.S. is functioning as its own Foundation and continues to support men’s health and wellness throughout the State of Michigan. For more information about free PSA screenings and additional testing services, please visit their website.
